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.

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

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

@UN_Women
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
Stop.
Blaming.
Women.

@UN_Women
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.

@UN_Women
Call it out when you see it:
❌Abuse
❌Catcalling
❌Sexist jokes
❌Unwelcome behaviour
❌Inappropriate sexual comments
Sexual harassment is never okay.

In traffic.
At home.
At school.
In politics.
In science.
At the farm.
At the gym.

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.

Survivors of violence deserve justice, and nothing less. This #16Days of Activism, #OrangeTheWorld to show you stand with them.

@UN_Women
Gender-based violence is the most pervasive human rights violation, but it is neither natural, nor inevitable.
It can and must be prevented.
Let's start by believing survivors and taking action during the #16Days and every day: unwo.men/O0l950GVrZh #OrangeTheWorld
