Trans women are 4 times more likely to experience violence than cisgendered people.
This #16Days of Activism, learn with our friend @NikkieTutorials about how we can all support and protect trans women. #OrangeTheWorld

📰 Let’s flip the narrative that places blame on victims and use the power of language in service of survivors, not perpetrators.

Abuse is not always physical and it doesn’t always leave visible scars. #OrangeTheWorld #16Days

@UN_Women
Women continue to be killed just because they are women.
This #16Days of Activism, let's stand against impunity and continue to speak up for justice until women can live without fear of violence.

Free to be you.
Free to say no.
Free to say yes.
Free from violence.
Free from discrimination.
Free to decide your future.
Free to be whoever you want.
Free to love whoever you want.
Free. Period.

Every time a woman speaks up about her experience of sexual violence and she’s not believed, the cycle of abuse continues.
Every time you hear a survivor’s story:
1-Listen.
2-Believe.
3-Support.

🛑 Stop using language that blames victims, objectifies women and normalizes sexual harassment. 🛑 #OrangeTheWorld #16days

@UN_Women
Stop teaching girls that when a boy is mean to her, it means he likes her.
Stop teaching boys that being a man means asserting power.

Violence against women and girls is a human rights violation that’s been perpetuated for decades.
It’s pervasive, but it’s not inevitable, unless we stay silent.
Speak out, #OrangeTheWorld & break the cycle of abuse during #16Days of Activism!

@UN_Women
Learn it.
Recognize it.
Take action to end it.

@UN_Women
Call it out when you see it:
❌Abuse
❌Catcalling
❌Sexist jokes
❌Unwelcome behaviour

Sexual harassment is never okay.
