Day 15: Climate Change and Gender-Based Violence Climate change exacerbates gender-based violence (GBV) by intensifying resource scarcity and displacement, disproportionately affecting women and girls. Increased vulnerability during crises leads to exploitation, trafficking, and abuse. Addressing this intersection requires gender-responsive climate policies, safeguarding rights, and empowering women as key actors in resilience and adaptation strategies.

Day 14: Promoting consent Promoting consent is essential to preventing gender-based violence. Consent is clear, voluntary, and mutual agreement in any interaction. Teaching its importance fosters respect and healthy boundaries. Empowering individuals to communicate and recognize consent helps challenge harmful norms, creating safer communities where everyone’s autonomy and dignity are valued and upheld.

Day 10: DIGITAL SAFETY FOR WOMEN ONLINE Digital safety for women is vital to combat gender-based violence (GBV) online. Measures include safeguarding personal information, using strong passwords, and reporting abuse. Empowering women through digital literacy, secure platforms, and legal protections can prevent cyberstalking, doxxing, and harassment, ensuring safer online spaces to promote gender equality and freedom of expression.

DAY 9: Financial exploitation Financial exploitation as gender-based violence involves controlling or depriving women of financial resources, limiting independence, or sabotaging employment opportunities. This form of abuse reinforces inequality, trapping victims in dependence. Empowering women through financial literacy, access to resources, and legal protections is key to combating this insidious form of gender-based violence. #GBV #exploitation #women Agnes Njang Karachu Philomen Kwechep Bih-Nwi Daris, mMBA🚀💛Pauline Ngongang Youndjia United Nations UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency
