Men as Allies in Ending Femicide Femicide, the killing of women and girls, is a pandemic that requires a collective response. Men, as allies, play a crucial role in ending femicide. Here are ways men can be effective allies👇🏾 1. Listen and learn Educate yourself about femicide, its causes, and consequences. Listen to women's experiences and perspectives. 2. Speak out Use your voice to condemn femicide and all forms of violence against women. Challenge misogynistic language and behaviors. 3. Support women-led initiatives Amplify and support organizations and campaigns led by women, working to end femicide. 4. Engage in bystander intervention If you witness or suspect violence against women, intervene safely and report incidents to authorities. 5. Advocate for policy change Support and advocate for policies that address the root causes of femicide, such as gender inequality and patriarchal norms. Together, we can create a world where women and girls live free from violence and fear. #MenAsAllies #EndFemicide #GenderEquality CIVICUS: World Alliance for Citizen Participation Open Society Foundations Ford Family Foundation Ford Foundation GENDER BASED VIOLENCE & FEMICIDE RESPONSE FUND Femicide Watch Platform African Women's Development Fund (AWDF)

How are you mobilizing the resources you have access to in ways that move us collectively closer to the world we desire and deserve? The #AWIDForum2024 provided a clear mandate for philanthropy to embrace proactive funding strategies and practices that build power and wealth in historically excluded groups: liberatory leadership, narrative infrastructure, movement ecosystems, Indigenous technologies, mutual aid, and community ownership — to name a few. If you're curious, check out the resources below. If you're ready to start an exploration, let's chat about how you may be imagining the journey. https://lnkd.in/e5Y2iVjJ

This is such a step forward. Authentic engagement is key and we must break down the one size fits all approach.
“Evidence shows that Black and South Asian women are more likely to be diagnosed in late stage, which is a real concern because we know that the earlier the diagnosis, the better the outcome. ”Differences in screening uptake show that more needs to be done to address the barriers to screening that drive inequities. To do that, we need to build better trust between communities and the health service. “Amplifying messages about racial inequality and the need to ensure that early detection and prevention service works for all is so important, so it was great to work with Breast Cancer Now and other groups that represent under-served communities to find common solutions. ”We need to get the message out that early detection leads to better outcomes. To achieve this, we need to break into word-of-mouth networks and ensure there are trusted professionals responding when women seek help.” - Jabeer, chief executive, Race Equality Foundation In England, Black women of any age and South Asian women aged 18-71 are less likely to have breast cancer diagnosed early, and are at greater risk of having it detected only once it's already spread to other part of the body. This inequity must be addressed, which is why we’ve joined together with Race Equality Foundation, alongside other leading equity groups, to help make screening more inclusive and accessible to everyone who is eligible. Our consensus statement sets out a number of changes that would help deliver a fair and equal breast screening programme, including by ensuring better data is available to help identify communities that aren't being reached by screening services, and working with those groups to design and deliver screening campaigns that resonate.

Today is International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, which marks the beginning of the 16 Days of Activism to End Gender-Based Violence. This year’s theme is: “UNITE! Invest to prevent violence against women and girls”. The campaign was started as a global initiative to raise awareness about the violence and discrimination facing women, girls, and 2SLGBTQQIA+ persons. Although gender-based violence can affect anybody, Indigenous women and girls are significantly more at-risk of being abused than others. During the next 16 days, join LFMO in advocating for the rights and empowerment of women, girls, and 2SLGBTQQIA+ persons across the Metis Nation. Learn more about this year’s campaign at: https://buff.ly/3Mp67Me

Last weekend, I had the privilege of attending a charity high tea event hosted by Be Uplifted, a volunteer-run charity whose motto "people, not research" truly embodies the spirit of inclusion. As we continue to celebrate International Women's Day 2024 under the theme #inspireinclusion, I couldn't help but reflect on the beautiful intersection of empowerment and support that I witnessed. Be Uplifted focuses on providing practical support to incredible women who have been impacted by breast cancer. Through shared stories, laughter, and a sense of community, it became evident that inclusion goes beyond mere words – it's a powerful force that transforms lives. To quote one of the incredible women who spoke of the charity’s impact, they aim to “heal people’s spirit”. Breast cancer doesn't discriminate, and events like the one hosted by Be Uplifted reaffirm the strength that develops when women come together to uplift one another and listen without judgement. In the face of adversity, there is a shared resilience that breaks down barriers and fosters an environment of inclusivity. As we celebrate the achievements, resilience, and potential of women on this International Women's Day, let's carry this spirit of inclusion forward. Consider supporting organisations like Be Uplifted, which tirelessly work to make a real difference in the lives of those affected by breast cancer, focusing on protecting the humanity of people and embracing the uniqueness of their journey. Let's be the driving force that ensures no woman faces her battles alone. Together, we inspire inclusion, and together, we make a lasting impact. #breastcancerawareness #beuplifted #internationalwomensday #iwd2024

The 16 Days of Activism to End GBV are tough, no matter how long you have done this work. It's true that we fight daily to end Violence Against Women, but this campaign is especially demanding for organizations already stretched and in the face of increasing rates of violence and indifference. Proud of all of us who do this! Check out our recap: https://lnkd.in/gTnEBNxz
