What could women do in a world #WithoutFear of gender-based violence? Go on a date, hike, run? For millions of women, these are not everyday freedoms—they’re risks. Just one of many sobering statistics, every 10 minutes a woman is killed at the hands of a partner or a close relative. It’s a world of fear. But it doesn’t have to be this way. #16Days https://ow.ly/TgjR50UgHo8

#Gaza: "The most immediate need without a shadow of doubt is a ceasefire, because we are unable to save lives and alleviate suffering when there is constant bombardment." - Deepmala Mahla, Ph. D, CARE Chief Humanitarian Officer #CeasefireNow

CARE welcomes the announcement of a ceasefire in #Lebanon. We call on all parties to the conflict to prevent any further escalation of violence, adhere to international humanitarian law, and continue efforts to build on this critical step towards a sustained ceasefire and a peaceful resolution to the conflict. https://ow.ly/78fX50Ugh9C

A new CARE report, The Cost of Inequality: Why the Global Economy Cannot Afford to Leave Women Behind, examines the global gender gap in the context of the future economy, revealing widening inequality for women and girls globally, and how this compromises growth and prosperity for all. “AI and the green economy have the potential to radically benefit society if we invest in women and girls. But if we leave women and girls behind, we will exacerbate the gap that is already holding the economy back." https://ow.ly/RWPz50UfmPw

The #COP29 climate finance deal falls short. While $300B annually triples past commitments, it's far below the $1.3T needed to help developing nations facing the worst of the #ClimateCrisis. No progress on phasing out fossil fuels either. https://ow.ly/nNTl50UesKg

Living free of harassment, violence, and abuse is a human right. Women everywhere deserve to live #WithoutFear—no matter where they are or what they're doing.
