Have you read our 2025 #16Days of Activism Against #GBV Report yet? Through community action, survivor-centered advocacy, strategic partnerships, and unwavering commitment, our members demonstrated the power of collective action in advancing a future free from violence against women and girls.

Curious about the people behind GBVNet?🌸 Let us hear from Natsnet Ghebrebrhan, co-Director of Raising Voices sharing what a world that is truly safe for womwn and girls looks like to her. ⭐ ❓What does a safe world for women and girls look like to you?❓ #Feminist #PreventVAWG #Activist #EndVAWG

Body autonomy is a basic right for every human being. We all, especially women and girls, have the right to accessible resources and information that will allow us to make informed decisions about our own bodies and wellbeing, including seeking pleasure in a safe way. #HumanRights #BodyAutonomy

Repost from @ilo.org Care work is real work. It's time to value those who care 🤍 #DecentWork

The safety of women and girls is not up for debate. We stand in solidarity with feminists, activists and practitioners all over the world to call for an end to FGM everywhere. #BanFGM #EndFGM #EndVAWG #ProtectWomenAndGirls

#TFGBV or online violence against women and girls hinders women and girls' ability to fully engage in digital and online resources due to fear of violence such as cyber-bullying, stalking, doxxing etc. 1/3

Word choices are important in how we discuss violence, sexual violence and violence against women and girls. As activists, violence practitioners, feminists and frontliners, it is important that we center survivor-centered approaches to care, interventions, messaging and advocacy.

Repost from #UNWomen Equal rights for women does not mean fewer rights for men. 🤷‍♀️ It’s not a pizza! 🍕 We ALL deserve to have equal rights. Are you with us in the fight for #equality? #ForAllWomenAndGirls

Women, girls and other marginalized people have a right to feel safe in all spaces, such as their workplaces. Does your work / organizational culture create and maintain a safe space for everyone? #WorkSafety #EndVAWG #SafeAtWork #PreventVAWG

Having strong and sustainable care mechanisms in your organizations, collectives or workplaces require more than individual effort. It requires collective agreements that are understood by all, and modeled by everyone in the collective. #CareAndSafety #EndViolence 1/2

Social norms are not neutral nor do they exist in a vacuum. They are created, upheld and maintained by our beliefs, practices and the systems we exist under. These systems such as the patriarchy, capitalism and rape culture perpetuates violence against everyone, especially marginalized people.

Taking care of yourself can look like many things. It can be: 🌸Journaling 🌸Reading 🌸Spending time in nature 🌸Talking a walk 🌸Meditating 🌸Spending time with loved ones Got any tips for us? #SelfCare #EndViolence

Humanitarian crises are often sites of continued violence against women and girls and many other marginalized people. This is due to the unequal power dynamics that exist between them and many groups of people such as humanitarian aid workers.

Starting off the week with an affirmation: We are inherently worthy as human beings. #Affirmation #EndVAWG #RestIsPolitical #PreventViolence

Did you know that the ways in which you respond when another person opens up to you about the violence they have faced, can make the difference in ending the culture of silence and victim blaming in our communities?

Attending a party does not equal consent for physical or sexual activity. There have been a lot of myths that have normalized rape culture within our societies and we all have to come together to speak out against these myths and the harm they cause in perpetuating and normalizing sexual violence.
