Women are feeling less safe in public spaces during #COVID19.
Violence against women outside the home restricts women’s mobility, limiting their access to employment, essential services & leisure activities.

UN Women condemns the killing of Palestinian-American journalist #ShireenAbuAkleh, shot on duty in the West Bank.
We echo @antonioguterres's call for an independent investigation.
Those responsible must be held accountable.

Compromising on women's participation in decision-making or visibility in peace processes does not keep them safer.
Consistent, explicit political support for activists & their work is key to preventing attacks against them.

Extreme poverty is on the rise and progress towards its elimination has reversed, while inadequate social protections leave women even more vulnerable.

The simple fact of being an indigenous woman or girl means that she is at least 3 times more likely to experience violence.
Let’s not allow silence to be compliance. #WeAreIndigenous

1 in 3 women experience violence in their lifetime.
A failure to end violence against women poses a risk to climate change mitigation, adaptation & resilience.
We cannot address the climate crisis without ending violence against women. #SDGs #OrangeDay unwo.men/hwBq50I4QWW

FACT!
Women are less likely to survive and more likely to be injured during disasters, due to long standing gender inequalities that have created disparities in information, mobility, decision-making, and access to resources.

Globally, an estimated 736 million women—almost one in three—have experienced physical and/or sexual intimate partner violence, non-partner sexual violence, or both at least once in their life.
We must end violence against women.

⚠️[Trigger Warning] ⚠️
The media has a fundamental role to play in stopping rape culture.
All of us can also help by changing the narrative that places blame on victims and by using the power of language in service of survivors, not perpetrators.
