When a survivor speaks up, don’t say, “Why didn’t she leave?”
Say:
We hear you.
We see you.
We believe you.
You are safe here.

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.

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.

Findings from #WomenCount's new report, Measuring the shadow pandemic: Violence against women during #COVID19, revealed that women are feeling less safe at home as conflict such as domestic violence has increased.

Less than 1 in 10 women who seek help after experiencing violence turn to the police.
We are committed to advancing work on gender-responsive policing globally, ensuring all officers are professionally trained to support the communities they protect. #16Days #OrangeTheWorld

#COVID19 has intensified violence against women both inside & outside of the home. This is a result of:
▪️ financial insecurity
▪️ unemployment
▪️ food insecurity
▪️ family relations

@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.

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

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!
