We’ve been advised to stay home to be safe from #COVID19, but what if home is where she feels unsafe?
Domestic violence has surged during the pandemic, but we can all help survivors get the support they need.

Let’s stand united against all who attempt to blur the lines around sexual consent, place blame on victims, and excuse perpetrators.
During #16Days of Activism, let’s say it loud and clear:
NO. MEANS. NO.

Reject the ideas of masculinity that see violence and dominance as “strong” and “male”.
This #16Days of Activism, let go of traditional gender roles that limit everyone and perpetuate violence against women and girls.

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.
