Pacific Feminist Fund’s Post

🚨 It’s time to look in the mirror - 16 Days of Activism How often do we question the everyday actions, terms, or glances that contribute to the depersonalisation and/or objectification of women? Do we recognize how they ripple out into a culture that enables harm? https://lnkd.in/du8H-rNJ Taking the lead from "THAT GUY", a campaign from Police Scotland (that-guy.co.uk/) our Aspen South African Operations ambassadors came together in collaboration with the Aspen EC Women's Forum to make a SAffer version of their "Don't be that guy" video which explores the uncomfortable truths about how men’s choices – big and small – play a role in shaping a world where women are taken advantage of. It’s a call to reflect, to take responsibility, and to act. 💡 Real change begins when we see ourselves clearly. This isn’t about blame; it’s about being better. Together, we can create a culture that respects, uplifts, and protects everyone. 👉 Watch the video and let’s start a conversation about how we, as society, can do better. #16DaysOfActivismForNoViolenceAgainstWomenAndChildren #AWF #DontBeThatGuy #BeAMan #Leadership #Accountability #Prevention #CultureChange #Respect Shout out to Dirk Moggee for his work behind the lens (and afterwards!)

‘Better’ funding means accessible, flexible, long-term, core funding that is rights-based and supports feminist movement building and organizational capacity building. ‘Better’ funding also means that the constituencies supported – the true experts in their fields – help shape the grantmaking process and build a movement infrastructure that is responsive to their needs by including collective care and protection.

Feminist victories are the result of legacies of collective action ✊ Together, feminist movements shift power itself—and address inequality and injustice at the root.
