It transcends borders, cultures, and socioeconomic status, leaving lasting scars on survivors and holding society back from achieving true equality. Today, we must reflect on the urgency of addressing GBV in all its forms—domestic violence, sexual harassment, human trafficking, harmful cultural practices, and emotional abuse. The statistics are staggering, but beyond the numbers are real people whose lives have been deeply impacted. #GBV #EndViolence #SocialImpact #HumanRights

There is no time like the present to reflect on the movements that have long advocated for better and more just workplaces for us all. We all deserve to be able to work with dignity and free from the threat of sexual violence, including sexual harassment. Survivors must lead and be at the center of the movement for change. We must be able to build power collectively and advocate for what is best for us and our loved ones.

In order to address the numerous forms of #violence faced by #women and #girls including physical, emotional, sexual, and economic violence, the 16 days activism against #GBV seeks to remind us to reflect on the urgent need for policy change, legal reforms, and increased support systems for #survivors of violence. Let’s raise our #voices, take a stand, and build a #future where violence has no place in our societies. As this year's theme stipulates, let's #unite to end violence against women and girls to create a world where everyone can live free from violence. #EndGBV #StopGBV #GenderBasedViolence

Let’s stop using language that blames victims, objectifies women, and normalizes sexual harassment. Every time a woman bravely speaks up about her experience of sexual violence, and is not believed, the cycle of abuse continues. When you hear a survivor’s story: 1-Listen with empathy. 2-Believe their truth. 3- Offer your support. Together, we can break this cycle. #16DaysOfActivism2024
