"From Iran to Tigray to Ukraine to Afghanistan & more, women human rights defenders risk their lives every day.

Happy Birthday, to the founder of the #MeToo movement, @TaranaBurke!
Thank you for speaking truth to power and creating a movement of solidarity for survivors.

Women in #Ukraine are increasingly becoming heads of households and leaders in their communities, yet they remain largely excluded from formal decision-making processes.
Women should be included in humanitarian, peace-making and negotiating efforts.

❌Food insecurity isn't just about going hungry.
For women & girls it can lead to:
-Transactional sex for food or money to buy food;
-Sexual exploitation, abuse and/or trafficking when searching for employment or food,
-Being pulled out of school for early and forced marriage.

We're all in this fight together for an equal future free from violence and discrimination. #GenerationEquality
