War puts women and girls at an increased risk of sexual and gender-based violence, especially those forced to flee.
UN Women is bolstering protection and gender-based violence services, in partnership with local civil society and women’s organisations.

To be able to exercise their #HumanRights and make essential decisions, women need to be able to decide freely and responsibly on the number and spacing of their children and to have access to information, education, and services.

When legal access to abortion is restricted women are forced to resort to less safe methods, too often with disastrous results.
We remain steadfast in our determination to ensure that the rights of women & girls are fully observed.

War is an opportunity for predators and human traffickers. Women and children need safety and support every step of the way.

In addition to experiencing displacement and lack of security, refugee women are often exposed to sexual violence and at a risk of being trafficked for sexual exploitation.
Policies that ensure their safety and protection are vital to guarantee their rights.

Hate speech has real consequences.
Say #NoToHate:
💠 Make your social feeds a no hate zone.
💠 Fact-check.
💠 Challenge hate by sharing messages of tolerance.
💠 Support people targeted by hate speech.
💠 Report hate speech on social platforms.

Let's dedicate today, World Elder Abuse Awareness Day, to raising awareness of violence against older women. Too many of them live at risk of physical, sexual, psychological and economic violence. #WEAAD

The world is not on track to achieve gender equality by 2030.
To get on track and achieve the #GlobalGoals, we need:
☑️ Bold commitment
☑️ Increased investments
☑️ Sufficient policy intervention

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.

What she means when she says no:
1. No.
Take consent seriously.

[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.
393
@UN_Women
Due to the surge of domestic violence reports during the #COVID19 lockdown, we must ensure that all information and services to support those experiencing violence continue to be accessible to women and girls with disabilities.

@UN_Women
Every time a woman speaks up about her experience of sexual violence and she’s not believed, rape culture flourishes.
Every time you hear a survivor’s story:
1-Listen.
2-Believe.
3-Support.

@UN_Women
Around the world, many countries still have discriminatory laws that criminalize consensual same-sex relationships.

Millions of women and children have fled #Ukraine for their lives.
They have lost their homes, jobs, families, and safety. That trauma goes on every day and has been repeated for a 100 days.
This war must stop now.
