In 2023, 29000 children were sexually abused in Türkiye. For 34 percent of the files, It was decided that there was no need for prosecution (impunity). As of today, there are almost 23,000 prisoners serving jail sentences related to offenses against sexual immunity. ---- The primary causes of violence against children are rising rates of poverty, reversals in women's rights, and lack of training with children on sexual rights and children's rights.

Gender-Based Violence is a global crisis. At least 1 in 3 women face physical, sexual, or partner violence, are victims of trafficking, or suffer from harmful social norms. As we begin the #16Days of Activism, it’s time to unite to end GBV. This is more than a fight for justice, it's a stand for humanity, equality, and dignity. #EndViolenceAgainstWomen #16DaysOfActivism2024 #NoExcuse #InternationalDayforEliminationofViolenceAgainstWomen

We need national-level conversations about how we are going to address the issue of peer sexual harassment. We need to consider how we are parenting our boys, and how organisations, such as schools, can work to prevent sexual harassment and violence against girls and gender or sexuality diverse individuals.

I woke up thinking about the rising cases of Sexual and Gender Based Violence, and the amount of time they take before prosecution takes place. This cases should be handled with utmost urgency and serve justice to the numerous pending cases and have this kids go back to school with no fear of their perpetrator following them. is that too much to ask? Sexual violence is a grave violation of human rights and dignity. It causes immense physical, psychological, and emotional harm. It is imperative that we collectively condemn such acts, support survivors, and work tirelessly to prevent such violence. Perpetrators must be held accountable, and resources must be provided to help survivors heal and rebuild their lives. It is crucial to foster a culture of respect, consent, and equality to eradicate sexual violence. #DonyaJusticeNetworkKenya. #IntersexKenyaEducationandAdvocacy. #EndSGBV. #Nobodyshoulddecidewholives. #Endfemicide. #letchildrenbechildren. #JusticeforSGBVsurvivors.

Systemic barriers, discrimination, and cultural stigma make it harder for BIPOC and 2SLGBTQIA+ communities to seek support in cases of Intimate Partner Violence (IPV), Domestic Violence (DV), and Intimate Partner Femicide (IPF). The intersection of race, gender, and sexual identity often shapes how abuse is experienced—and how support systems, from service providers to police, respond. To create real change, we must acknowledge these unique challenges and advocate for culturally safe, trauma-informed, and inclusive resources. #EndIPV #DVPrevention #SupportSurvivors #IntersectionalityMatters
