When women and girls go out, everyday items become self defense tools due to ongoing sexual harassment and a culture of violence around the world.
Let's build safer streets, safer transportation and safer public spaces.

No one is too young (or old) to change the world — but young people are often underrepresented in decision-making roles.
Eliminate the structural, systematic and societal barriers that hold them back.

Today we remember Nettie Maria Stevens, born #OnThisDay in 1861.
She was the geneticist who discovered sex chromosomes.
Because of sexism, she didn't get credit for her revelatory work, but today her legacy lives on. #WomenInScience via @voxdotcom

Violence against women and girls is a human rights violation that has been perpetuated for DECADES.
It’s pervasive, but it’s not inevitable - unless we stay silent.

Services for women & girls experiencing violence can be the difference between life and death.
Shelters, hotlines, counseling and all support for survivors of gender-based violence need to be available for those in need.
