🌍Today marks the International Day of Human Rights, as well as the last day of the #16DaysofActivism.    Today we are reminded that every human being has the right to a life free of violence and discrimination.     🚺 Yet 33% of women experience physical or sexual violence. That is 1 in 3 women globally.     What Works II is committed to contributing to build a more safe and just world for all girls, women, and gender-diverse people.     💜 Follow us to become part of our movement.

💜 16 Days of Activism:     We are continuing our fight to end gender-based violence everywhere, and today, we’re shining a light on an important issue: GBV in climate action.      Women, girls, and diverse people are often excluded from decision-making roles in climate action. This needs to change.     📈 In Cambodia and Lao PDR, 42% of women environmental human rights defenders reported safety concerns as a major barrier to their participation in natural resource management.     To build a truly just transition, we must ensure that everyone, especially women and marginalized groups, have a seat at the table.    Climate action is incomplete without their voices.     Want to learn more about the intersection of GBV and climate change?     🌱 Check out our latest report here: https://lnkd.in/eA6Xqw8x     #16DaysofActivism #ClimateJustice #EndGBV

💜 16 Days of Activism: We are committed to supporting efforts in ending violence against women and girls in all settings, this includes schools.     Schools can be effective environments to manage interventions to prevent and respond to GBV.     📈Our new report on violence in and around school found that high rates of absenteeism in school for girls have further impacts on their futures, as they become more at risk of child or early forced marriage or pregnancy, and sexually transmitted infections such as HIV/AIDS.     🔗 Learn more about how to prevent violence in and around schools here: https://lnkd.in/e_sPw_SA #EndGBV #16DaysofActivism
