Sexual harassment in the workplace is a form of violence against women, causing severe emotional and psychological damage to women.
Every woman has a right to feel safe, respected and dignified at their workplace.

When we believe survivors, we create safe spaces for them to speak up, tell their truth and get the justice they need to heal.
What other ways can we support survivors of gender-based violence?

As we continue to take stock of the previous year and reflect on our resolutions for 2024, we remain committed to learning and being more inclusive in our feminism to prevent & end violence against women and girls.
What are your feminist goals for the new year?

Every girl has the right to be educated 👩🏿🎓📝
Yet barriers like poverty, forced marriage, sexual harassment and unequal gender norms prevent girls from assessing education, thereby putting them at more risk of violence.
We all have a duty to promote girls' rights to education.

Violence against women & girls remains the most pervasive human rights violation around the world.
#DYK? Since the pandemic began, 45% of women reported that they or a woman they know has experienced a form of VAWG.
We all have a duty to ensure safety & respect for women ✅

Worldwide, 129 million girls are out of school.
Nothing can justify keeping girls out of the classroom.
Investing in girls, their education & human rights, is investing in our common future.
