WoMen Against Rape

Violence against women and girls online, which include cyber-stalking, bullying, doxxing and sexual harassment, limit their ability to fully participate in digital spaces. We call for an end to all forms of #VAWG now! #SafeOnline #EndVAWG

We recognize the transformative work of @warbotswana in preventing violence against women. Together, we can make a difference! #SolidarityInViolencePrevention #FeministOrganizingForVAWPrevention #EndVAWG #Botswana

Realistically, organizational care, which is also collective care, is necessary in our movements and work as activists. Self care goes hand in hand with collective care, and collective care lays the groundwork for effective self care. How are you practicing collective care?

One way to achieve gender equality is through education. School curriculums and textbooks should contain content that moves away from gender roles and stereotypes and encourages equality and respect for all genders. #PreventGBV #EndVAW

From grassroots efforts to global policy and advocacy, these individuals are the pillars of our movement towards a violence-free world. @peggie_r #PreventGBV #EndVAW #AfricanFeminism

Feminist movements create systemic change 🌍 Our feminism requires us to challenge and work towards eradicating social norms, cultural practices and institutions that enforce gender inequality and perpetuate violence against women, girls and gender-diverse people.

None of us are free until we are all free. It is important to recognize the interconnectedness of injustice and the key role of solidarity, togetherness and unity while addressing it. #VAWPrevention #16DaysOfActivism #SolidarityActionInvestment

Harassment against women and girls includes any discriminatory action or offensive behaviour that humiliates or embarrasses women and girls. #PreventGBV #EndVAW

Each year, 12 million girls are married before the age of 18, at a cost to their health, education, safety and opportunity to live a good and healthy life. Girls should be girls, not brides. Forced marriages must end ❌🚫 #PreventGBV #EndVAW

Most acts of violence are committed by someone the victim knows well, such as a family member or intimate partner. To create safer societies, we must first make our homes safer for women and girls 🏠✅ #PreventGBV #EndVAW

Our Rethink & Renergize (R&R) process brings together individuals and organizations to share and learn from one another to build stronger movements to #EndVAW. Here's what some members had to say about the R&R process in Botswana, supported by @warbotswana 📽️⬇️

" One thing that I really really loved about this whole presentation was the part where the facilitator told us that when it comes to violence against women, it's more structural and systematic" #PreventGBV #EndVAW

"The R&R process was very energizing. I learnt a lot and I'm excited for another one". #PreventGBV #EndVAW

Violence against women affects every one of us. We all need to take an active stance against violence in our communities ✊🏿 #EndVAW #PreventGBV

Violence against women and girls remains the most pervasive human rights violation around the world. Did you know? Since the pandemic began, 45% of women reported that they or a woman they know has experienced a form of VAWG. #PreventGBV #EndVAW
