📢 Ending Gender-Based Violence: Gender-based violence remains a harrowing reality in our society. With some of the world’s highest rates of rape, femicide, and domestic abuse, South Africa faces a relentless fight against this epidemic. This year’s theme, “30 Years of Advancing Collective Action to End Violence Against Women and Children,” reminds us of the progress made—and the work still ahead. According to StatsSA: 📌 1 in 3 women aged 16 and older has experienced physical violence. 📌 1 in 5 women has faced sexual abuse. 📌 1 in 4 women has suffered emotional abuse during their lifetime. These statistics are more than numbers—they represent lives affected, families broken, and communities in pain. Let’s stand together to continue raising awareness, driving meaningful action, and creating safe spaces for women and children. The fight is far from over, but together, we can make a difference. #EndGBV #30YearsOfAction #GenderEquality

🌍 Today is International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women It also marks the start of the 16 Days in WA campaign, which calls on all of us to take action against violence and disrespect towards women. Violence against women isn’t just physical—it can be psychological, emotional, financial, or sexual. These abuses, often inflicted in intimate or family settings, are violations of human rights. The statistics are shocking: 👉 1 in 5 Australians believes domestic violence is a normal reaction to stress. 👉 1 in 3 Australians thinks a woman is responsible for violence if she doesn’t leave her abuser. These harmful attitudes perpetuate a culture where violence is normalised and excuses are made. This must change. 💡 The 16 Days in WA campaign empowers bystanders to: ✅ Speak up when they see disrespect or abuse. ✅ Safely challenge behaviours and attitudes that condone violence. ✅ Educate themselves and others to create a safer, more respectful community. Women and girls are disproportionately affected—especially those in marginalized groups, including LGBTIQ+, Indigenous, migrant, and disabled women, as well as those facing crises. Let’s work together to build a world where violence against women is never tolerated. #16DaysInWA #EndViolenceAgainstWomen #HumanRights

Over the last #16Days, we’ve highlighted the ongoing critical importance of addressing sexual and gender-based violence globally and right here at home. From supporting responses to wildfires this summer and ensuring communities are supported inclusively, to working with local volunteers in Türkiye, hear from Michelle Marteleira (Protection, Gender, Inclusion, and Community Engagement Manager and international delegate), about how our teams at the Canadian Red Cross are supporting those at risk of such violence and helping protect women, children and other marginalized groups before, during, and after emergencies – in Canada and around the world. Michelle shares how our dedicated are making a real difference in people’s lives through interventions, tools, training, and a community-led approach. Today, and every day, we encourage you to learn more about how to stand with survivors and advocate for the elimination of violence against women and children. Let’s continue working toward a world where everyone, everywhere feels safe and supported. 💜 #NoExcuse Learn more: https://brnw.ch/21wPjWG
