🌍 ✨ If you've not caught this news, there's still time! Dedicated 2-year grants to build political power, counter authoritarianism & hold democratic institutions to account. Welcoming submissions for Asia & the Pacific till 10 May. 🔗 bit.ly/3UctEEq
We all deserve to be safe and well! ❤️📷✨ Prioritizing women's safety and well-being involves supporting women and grassroots organizations that are working in local communities to prevent VAW and provide healthcare, food and shelter to victims/survivors of GBV.
Women and girls are always taught to change their behaviour to guarantee their safety. But men and boys must be taught to respect women's bodily autonomy and personal space. If their behaviour is uncomfortable or threatening to women and girls, they must change their behaviour.
We thrive when our homes, schools, houses of worship, streets, markets and communities are safe. We will not stop until we are all safe. #PreventGBV #EndVAW
When we support women who speak up, we reduce the social space that exists for sexual violence to occur. We reject the silence that allows sexual violence to proliferate. We say to women and survivors, "You are not alone. This is not your fault. This is not okay."
To break the silence surrounding #VAW, there must be support for women's voices. Victims/survivors must feel empowered to reveal narratives of violence and how it manifests. Listen to women 👂🏿 Believe women ❤️ Support women ✊🏿
Patriarchy functions to keep women and girls silent about violence. Violence is not normal and no one should have to endure it. We must challenge and change cultural norms that manipulate women and girls into keeping quiet about abuse. #PreventGBV #EndVAW
Violence affects women at every stage of their lives. More than 1 in 3 women experience gender-based violence during their lifetime. What steps can you take to end gender-based violence in your community?
Our Chief Steward, Penelope Sanyu wrote about "The Public-Private Partnership Dilemma in Uganda" in the latest issue of the Feminist Africa Journal. Read the featured article here: feministafrica.net/2023/12/07/fem… #IamFemmeForte
One of the biggest barriers to ending GBV today is that survivors are often not believed when they speak up.This can create additional stress and abuse for those who take that incredibly brave step and also discourage other people suffering gendered violence from speaking out
Most acts of violence are committed by someone the victim knows well, such as a family member or intimate partner. To create safer societies, we must first make our homes safer for women and girls. #PreventGBV #EndVAW
YES! = Yes 👍🏿 'Maybe' ≠ Yes 'I don't know' ≠ yes 'I am not sure' ≠ yes 'I am not ready now' ≠ yes 'I don't want to continue' ≠ yes If you don't have affirmative and enthusiastic consent, stop 🚫 #PreventGBV #EndVAW #SexualAssaultAwarenessMonth
Black liberation is political work and Black feminist movements need flexible unrestricted funding to move this work forward. In this interview, Nancy Houston, co-founder of @FeministsKE discusses Black feminism & organizing in Kenya. #FundBlackFeminists republic.com.ng/interviews/ant…

Consent education and building a culture of consent are necessary to prevent sexual assault against women and girls. Any sexual activity that doesn't have the informed and enthusiastic consent of the parties involved is rape. #PreventGBV #SexualAssaultAwareness #EndVAW

Consent is freely given. It’s a choice to engage in sexual activity without coercion, force, threats, manipulation and/or the influence of drugs or alcohol. It is reversible and can be withdrawn at any time. By asking for consent, we show that we respect & value women.

Preventing sexual harassment is everyones responsibility. An engaged bystander intervenes during or after a situation involving harassment. Behaviors like sexist jokes arent illegal but are harmful. Speak up to show these behaviors wont be tolerated. #SexualAssaultAwarenessMonth
