Some values stay with us long after the person who gave them to us is gone. On his birth anniversary, we remember Meer Taj Mohammed Khan, whose life and values continue to inspire the work of Meer Foundation. #MeerFoundation #MeerTajMohammedKhan #BirthdayAnniversary

(1/2) When we witness harassment or behaviour that feels wrong, looking away can allow it to continue. Yet knowing when and how to step in safely can make all the difference.

Our Nukkad Natak used real, relatable situations to open up conversations around bystander action, reminding communities that support does not always have to be loud. What would change if more of us chose not to look away? #MeerFoundation #EmpathreeFoundation #NukkaNatak

(1/2) Consent is more than the absence of a no. It is about having the freedom to say yes, no or change your mind without pressure. Through theatre, dialogue and audience interaction, our Nukkad Natak opened up conversations around what consent really means.

(1/2) This Durga Puja, our survivors in Kolkata stepped out to pandal-hop, soak in the festivities and make memories of their own. A reminder that every woman deserves joy, freedom and the chance to live life on her own terms supported by every community.

(1/2) Gender inequality often begins with the roles we learn to accept as normal. What women should do. How men should behave. What is considered acceptable for one, but not the other.

(2/2) Through our Nukkad Natak, Meer Foundation brought these everyday gender norms into the open, creating space for communities to question them, reflect on them and imagine something more equal. What could change if we questioned the roles we’ve always taken for granted?

(1/2) Every girl deserves the space to discover her strength, find her voice and believe in what she can become. Through our sports programme in partnership with Hope Kolkata Foundation, girls are finding that space through sports like football, taekwondo and movement.

(1/2) Gender-based violence is often spoken about through individual incidents. The attitudes behind it can be much more everyday, from normalising unequal roles to questioning survivors, excusing harmful behaviour and staying silent when something feels wrong.

(2/2) When these behaviours become part of what a community accepts as normal, how do we begin to question them? How do we change them? #MeerFoundation #NukkadNatak #GenderEquality #SocialAwareness #TogetherForChange #EndGenderBasedViolence #CommunityEngagement

(1/2) The numbers we see are not the whole story. Many acid attacks never reach a police station or make the news. Fear, stigma, family pressure and distrust in the system can keep survivors silent.

(2/2) What goes unreported still happens that is why reporting matters, warning signs matter and listening matters. The goal isn’t just to count these attacks. It’s to stop them. #MeerFoundation #StopVoilenceAgainstWomen #ProtectWomen #EndAcidAttacks #WomenEmpowerment

(1/2) AI-enabled abuse doesn't affect only one group. People of all genders and ages can face harassment, image-based abuse, exploitation, scams, impersonation, manipulation and coordinated abuse. Children, older people, creators and public figures can all be targeted.

(2/2) The technology is evolving quickly. The risks are affecting more people. Our laws, platforms and systems of protection need to evolve with them. Safer technology is everyone's responsibility. #StolenByAI #MeerFounation #ProtectWomenOnline #StopOnlineAbuse #GenderEquality
