Building safe communities that prevent gender-based violence, starts with fostering open conversations, cultivating empathy, and ensuring accountability in our actions and systems. Safe communities are built when we challenge harmful norms, support survivors, and work collectively to create spaces where everyone feels respected and protected. Thank you, Purvi Tanwani from Anahat For Change Foundation for your invaluable insights and for inspiring us to create safer, more inclusive environments. #safecommunities #endgenderbasedviolence #genderjustice #endviolence #empathyinaction #safespacesforall #equalitymatters #communitycare #accountabilityforchange #togetherforsafety

Why do we need to include queer trans individuals when advocating against Gender-based Violence? It is crucial to bring LGBTQIA+ community members under the same umbrella to foster greater inclusion. Violence can affect anyone, regardless of gender, orientation, region, or identity; however, queer and trans individuals often face heightened levels of violence in various forms. Building solidarity and providing queer and trans voices with a platform to speak for themselves is essential. Activism becomes more impactful when people of all identities unite to address these issues collectively. We thank Arijit from @Parichiti for sharing his insightful thoughts during this 16 Days of Activism! #16daysofactivism #endgenderbasedviolence #ldgtqia #queerviolence #translivesmatter #queethealth #lgbtqviolenceawareness

Boys and men must be educated beyond the textbook paradigm, with a focus on dismantling toxic masculinity in their journey toward manhood—or wherever their gender identity may take them. They should be raised to resist and challenge patriarchal norms, rather than becoming passive enablers or victims of the system. To achieve this, it is crucial to involve boys from a young age in conversations about issues often deemed "women's" concerns, such as female bodily processes and gender equity. By fostering awareness and empathy early on, we can ensure that the roots of their socialization are strong and inclusive, allowing them to grow into individuals who contribute to a more equitable and compassionate society. We sincerely thank Nupur Sarkar from the Civilian Welfare Foundation for offering such an inspiring perspective during the 16 Days of Activism! #healthymasculinity #redefiningmasculinity #16daysofactivism #endgenderbasedviolence #awaremen
