The safety of women and girls is not up for debate. We stand in solidarity with feminists, activists and practitioners all over the world to call for an end to FGM everywhere. #BanFGM #EndFGM #EndVAWG #ProtectWomenAndGirls
Word choices are important in how we discuss violence, sexual violence and violence against women and girls. As activists, violence practitioners, feminists and frontliners, it is important that we center survivor-centered approaches to care, interventions, messaging and advocacy.

Repost from #UNWomen Equal rights for women does not mean fewer rights for men. 🤷♀️ It’s not a pizza! 🍕 We ALL deserve to have equal rights. Are you with us in the fight for #equality? #ForAllWomenAndGirls
Women, girls and other marginalized people have a right to feel safe in all spaces, such as their workplaces. Does your work / organizational culture create and maintain a safe space for everyone? #WorkSafety #EndVAWG #SafeAtWork #PreventVAWG
Having strong and sustainable care mechanisms in your organizations, collectives or workplaces require more than individual effort. It requires collective agreements that are understood by all, and modeled by everyone in the collective. #CareAndSafety #EndViolence 1/2

Social norms are not neutral nor do they exist in a vacuum. They are created, upheld and maintained by our beliefs, practices and the systems we exist under. These systems such as the patriarchy, capitalism and rape culture perpetuates violence against everyone, especially marginalized people.
Taking care of yourself can look like many things. It can be: 🌸Journaling 🌸Reading 🌸Spending time in nature 🌸Talking a walk 🌸Meditating 🌸Spending time with loved ones Got any tips for us? #SelfCare #EndViolence
Humanitarian crises are often sites of continued violence against women and girls and many other marginalized people. This is due to the unequal power dynamics that exist between them and many groups of people such as humanitarian aid workers.
Starting off the week with an affirmation: We are inherently worthy as human beings. #Affirmation #EndVAWG #RestIsPolitical #PreventViolence
Did you know that the ways in which you respond when another person opens up to you about the violence they have faced, can make the difference in ending the culture of silence and victim blaming in our communities?
Values like empathy, respect for human dignity, non-violence and many more can be regularly modelled in the home. This encourages everyone in the home, young and old, to feel safe to ask questions, to learn and grow in safety and to stand up to injustice when they come across it in their lives.

Attending a party does not equal consent for physical or sexual activity. There have been a lot of myths that have normalized rape culture within our societies and we all have to come together to speak out against these myths and the harm they cause in perpetuating and normalizing sexual violence.

The increased rollback of rights across Africa and the world is a beating drum for the need for increased, sustained and values-based collaboration across movements, activists, community organizers, educators, frontline activists etc.
Repost from With You We Can The problem is not that people don’t report sexual assault. It’s what happens when they do. For many victim-survivors, the harm does not end with the violence itself. It continues in the systems they are told will help them: 1/3
Climate justice addresses the unequal impact of climate change and environmental degradation on those who often contribute least to it (the degradation). In many areas, women and girls have to go very far away from their homes and communities in search of food and water due to scarcity and famine-
