Reject the ideas of masculinity that see violence and dominance as “strong” and “male”.

We’ve been advised to stay home to be safe from #COVID19, but what if home is where she feels unsafe?

137 women are killed by a member of their family every day.
Most of the time, the face of a perpetrator is a familiar one.

When violence happens, women are reluctant to seek help outside the family. New data shows most would seek help from a family member rather than from the authorities.

Female genital mutilation is a form of violence against women.
It is a human rights abuse.
It leaves scars that last a lifetime.
