Lack of safe, private toilets at schools is one of the reasons for high drop-out rates amongst young girls and a major impediment to girls’ education.
Let’s change this on #WorldToiletDay!

The fight for women’s rights has been a long journey.

#Trans people, particularly trans women, are more likely to experience hate-based violence than their peers, facing serious risks to their safety in public spaces. Streets should be safe for everyone – trans women included! 🏳️⚧️ #TransDayOfRemembrance #TDOR @free_equal

Speak up when someone says sexist words.
Let’s not allow silence to be compliance to the patriarchy and "locker room talk".

@UN_Women
Women need freedom from:
- gender roles
- gender expectations
- patriarchal notions
- discriminatory laws
...and many other forms of intersecting inequalities.
