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. #PreventVAW #EndGBV

Gender inequality and gender-based violence is not 'women's problem' to solve. Gender inequality and gender-based violence affects us all and each of us has a role to play in eliminating it.

Feminism requires us to challenge and work towards eradicating social norms, cultural practices and institutions that enforce gender inequality and perpetuate violence against women. Our feminism leaves no one behind. #FeministFriday

#VAW is the result of unequal gender norms & cultural practices that define women as 'inferior' and deserving of violence for not being 'feminine' or 'submissive' enough. To #EndVAW, we must eliminate these harmful norms & practices and promote respect & equal rights for women.

When we support women who speak up, we reject the silence that allows violence to be perpetuated. Thereby reducing the social space that exists for violence to thrive. We say to women and survivors, "You are not alone. This is not your fault. This is not okay." ❤️❤️ #EndGBV

At the current rate, it may take hundreds of years before women & girls have the same rights as men. The world cannot wait this long. We need gender equality, everywhere, now.

António Guterres masego tshabalala Taking more than these years for women to achieve gender justice & equality, is saddening. A snail's pace is faster than the speed to achieve rights for women & girls. Let's intensify the fight for gender equality. Men too, please join this fight. #WomensRightsAreHumanRights

A #FeministApproach is critical for impactful programming to prevent VAW/C Beyond gender equality, it includes speaking against all forms of oppression, centering the leadership of marginalized groups, tackling root causes of inequalities & questioning one's own use of power

The concept of self-care as a political act is to empower marginalized people to prioritize their needs. However, it has been hijacked by the capitalist industry to sell luxury products & experiences that are inaccessible to many. How do we re-center self-care as a politic?

Women cannot lead when they aren’t safe. Women in politics face a high risk of violence, violating their right to exercise political leadership. Research by @Pollicy showed that female candidates were more likely to experience trolling & sexual violence as #onlineVAW in politics
