As we begin the #16Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence, I am reminded of the immense courage and resilience of survivors, advocates, and communities who speak out against violence and injustice.

Together, let’s use our voices to stand against discrimination, protect survivors, and build a world where everyone, regardless of gender, can live free from violence and fear. #NoExcuse
