On this occasion, #UNTF long-standing partner @Sida reaffirmed its leadership and commitment to supporting CSOs/WROs working to end #VAWG in a global context of funding cuts. The additional contribution of $3.2 million will allow women’s organizations to keep their doors open, protect rights, and drive change.
Yesterday at #UNGA, #UNTF grantee partners @FundacionFEIM, @associationhda & @Sihanet joined senior UN and #EU leaders to sound the alarm on declining ODA - calling for greater solidarity with WROs and asking for long-term, flexible funding to end #VAWG. #ACTtoEndViolence

Every society runs on women’s leadership - unpaid, unrecognized, & underestimated. Imagine the change if women had both the seat & the support they already deserve #Balance4Her #womeninleadership #NigeriaDecides #GenderEquality #LeadershipMatters #EUfunded @EU_SDGN @BeebbeeA

The tartan/plaid fabric worn by Chinma of @circuitpointe is more than fashion—it’s a piece of Imo State’s heritage. Through the #FEFOSC programme, it’s being reimagined to link tradition with innovation & sustainability. 🌍 #CulturalHeritage #FranceInNigeria #Sustainability

❌ Myth: #FGM is practiced for health & safety reasons. ✅ Reality: There is no medical justification or benefits to #FGM. On the contrary, #FGM can have severe, lasting impacts on women & girls’ health, incl. on their sexual, reproductive and mental health.

VAPP Act is for everyone! Repealing it would harm marginalized communities, women, children & men. Why not an amendment instead of a repeal? #AmendNotRepeal #ProtectTheVAPP #SaveTheVAPPA #WhyRepealInSecret #ImplementTheVAPP

#MenstrualHealth is a core part of #SRHR. Ensuring everyone can manage #menstruation in dignity contributes to better health and education. Since 2014, AmplifyChange has funded 94 projects led by #CSOs advocating for better #MH policies at local and national levels. (🧵1/2)

Women's safety isn't optional. We call for stronger protection mechanisms to prevent and eliminate violence, harassment, threats, intimidation and discrimination against women human rights defenders, women’s rights advocates and activists. #NoExcuse

❌ Female genital mutilation is violence against women. As we continue to advance women’s rights, we are appalled by any attempted rollback of legal protection of those rights. We stand with survivors of FGM and with all women and girls in The Gambia. #EndFGM
