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.

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.

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.

Female genital mutilation is a form of violence against women.
It is a human rights abuse.
It leaves scars that last a lifetime.
Let’s protect our girls and #endFGM!

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.

There is no situation in which child marriage is consensual. The day a girl is married, her entire future is compromised.

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.

Gender inequality.
Harmful norms.
