🌍 International Roundtable Discussion on Eliminating Violence Against Women 🗣️ Today, I have the privilege of participating in a global roundtable discussion, hosted by International Internship University, focused on the urgent issue of violence against women. 🚺 This is a critical conversation that touches us all, no matter where we come from. One of the central themes emerging from the dialogue is that the fight to end violence against women must begin with changing mindsets. 💭 👩⚖️ Gender parity is not just a goal—it is a fundamental belief. For far too long, mindsets that condone or justify violence against women have been allowed to persist. It’s time to break these harmful cycles and reshape our thinking around equality, respect, and justice. Here are some key takeaways from today's discussion: 1. Promote Education & Awareness 📚 – We must educate communities about gender equality to start eliminating violence at its roots. 2. Empower Women & Girls 💪 – By providing women with the tools, opportunities, and support they need, we break down systemic barriers that perpetuate violence. 3. Foster Healthy Masculinities 👨 – Engaging men and boys in these conversations and encouraging healthy, respectful behavior toward women is essential to creating lasting change. The fight to eliminate violence against women goes beyond laws and policies—it's about shifting cultural mindsets and challenging the belief systems that perpetuate inequality. It’s about ensuring that respect for women is present in every space we occupy. Let’s commit to this journey, leading with purpose and action. 🔑 Together, we can create a world where violence against women is no longer tolerated. #EliminateViolence #GenderParity #RespectForAll #EndViolenceAgainstWomen #ChangeTheMindset #WomenEmpowerment #RespectEquality #InternationalDialogue #InternationalInternshipUniversity https://lnkd.in/dgpj_2py

As I look back on my 2022 internship at Silverbird's Rhythm 93.7, Benin, I'm reminded of the invaluable experience and lessons gained. One project that stands out was my report on inequalities in our society and their far-reaching consequences. Through this research, I gained a deeper understanding of how inequalities: - Perpetuate social injustices - Hinder economic growth - Erode trust in institutions - Affect mental health and well-being I'm grateful for this journey of growth, which not only sharpened my research skills but also fueled my passion for social change. Special thanks to Mr. Maxwell Omo-Osagie, then Head of Programmes, for his guidance and support. His mentorship played a significant role in shaping my experience. Key Takeaways: 1. Inequalities are complex, interconnected issues requiring multifaceted solutions. 2. Media platforms can amplify marginalized voices and spark meaningful conversations. 3. Empathy, education, and advocacy are crucial in addressing inequalities. As I reflect on this experience, I'm reminded that creating a more equitable society requires collective effort. Let's continue to raise awareness, challenge injustices, and promote inclusivity in our communities. However, I'm committed to leveraging my skills and knowledge to contribute to a more equitable society. #Inequality #SocialJustice #CommunicationsforDevelopment #MediaForChange #InternshipExperience #PersonalGrowth #MentorshipMatters #Rhythm937 #MultimediaJournalism #SocialChange #Media #SDGS
