Women everywhere deserve to live #WithoutFear—free from abuse, harassment, and violence. Did you know about 1 in 3 women aged 15 to 49 have experienced physical violence, and 1 in 4 have faced sexual violence? These numbers are staggering, and they demand action. On this International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women and Girls, we stand with voices worldwide to demand a safer, more equitable future. This day also marks the beginning of the #16Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence (GBV), a global call to action. Together, we must urge governments to stand with women leaders and commit to bold, meaningful steps toward ending GBV. Everyone has a role to play in building a world where women can live with dignity, safety, and opportunity. 💜 #EndGBV #StopGBV #16DaysOfActivism #CareCanada #InternationalDayfortheEliminationofViolenceAgainstWomen

🌟 Today is National Philanthropy Day 🌟 Yesterday, at a gathering in Vancouver celebrating the remarkable leadership of women in emergencies, our President and CEO, Barbara Grantham, ICD.D shared a powerful message: “Tomorrow is National Philanthropy Day. So, while we have gathered here tonight to recognize the incredible leadership of women in emergencies, I also want to recognize the vital contributions of the people and organizations who have invested in these women—a number of whom are here today. Without your generous support, we would—quite simply—not be able to do this work.” Today, we echo Barbara's words and extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has supported CARE Canada’s mission. Your generosity helps women and girls around the world lift themselves and their families out of poverty and lead them through crisis. To our donors, partners, and community—thank you for making this vital work possible. Together, we are building a more just and resilient world. #NationalPhilanthropyDay #WomenInLeadership #ThankYou #CARECanada (Photos: Barbara Grantham addressing attendees at yesterday's event)

On November 21, the CARE Climate and Resilience Academy will host a half-day online training on community-based resilience and adaptation, focusing on climate change impacts on health from a gender-transformative perspective. View the full program & register today: https://lnkd.in/gbfDX9X3

WHERE ARE THE WOMEN? 🌍 Only 8 of the 78 world leaders at #COP29Baku are women. Yet, women lead on the front lines of climate crises but remain sidelined at key decision-making tables. This is one reason why only 2% of funding for communities impacted by the climate crisis is focused on gender equality. Women are essential agents of change in climate action – they deserve a seat at every table where decisions are made. Let’s demand world leaders invest in women leaders at every level. Join us in calling for change! #CAREatCOP #PayUp Read more: https://bit.ly/4hLnvJ7
