As the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence comes to a close, we reflect on the urgent need for a global shift in attitudes and behaviors towards gender equality. 🌎 These 16 days remind us that GBV is not just an issue for women - everyone in our communities, especially men, need to come together to tackle the problem. 🤝 At MAGENTA, we are thriving everyday to implement SBC strategies that make a difference to women in their communities and where they feel vulnerable. Whether that be capacity building or media campaigns, we know we need to involve as many people as possible in order to find the correct action to take. What are you doing to help combat GBV? #NoExcuse #16DaysofActivism #GBV #ViolenceAgainstWomen #16Days

Together we can prevent violence against women and girls. #ItStartsWithMen This White Ribbon Day 2024, we’re encouraging men to hold themselves accountable to women and to each other, so we can affect positive behaviour change to transform harmful cultures. Gender equality is key to making this culture change happen. Gender equality is achievable if men and boys understand and assume their responsibility as allies. We can prevent violence against women and girls. #ItStartsWithMe Make the White Ribbon Promise to never use, excuse or remain silent about men’s violence against women and girls. If you’ve already made the White Ribbon Promise, encourage others in your life to do so too. https://lnkd.in/gXgn8ct #WhiteRibbon #16DaysOfActivism #EndVAWG

Gender-based violence knows no geographical boundaries, social class, or culture; it is a pervasive issue that affects women from all walks of life. Today, we must confront the harmful cultural attitudes that perpetuate violence and inequality. It is time to dismantle the stereotypes that diminish women's value and contributions to society. By fostering respectful dialogues and promoting gender equality, we can cultivate an environment where women are honored, empowered, and, most importantly, safe. Let us stand united to create communities that reject violence and support the rights of all individuals. #16 Days of Activism #EndGBV #LetsBreakTheSilence

“I hope you will find some way to break the rules and make a little trouble out there. And I also hope that you will choose to make some of that trouble on behalf of women.” - Nora Ephron Nora's words remind us that, sometimes, making a little trouble can lead to big changes. Whether it's challenging societal norms, advocating for gender equality, or simply speaking up for what's right, each act of defiance contributes to a more inclusive and equitable future. So, let's embrace the spirit of rebellion and choose to make a little trouble on behalf of women everywhere. #NoraEphron #leadershipdevelopment #inclusivity #challengingnorms
