Ending violence against children is possible and realizable. To achieve the #2030Agenda and the #SDGs, we must end all forms of violence against children in every setting. #ActNow to #EndViolence

The commitment to end all forms of violence against children by 2030 is at risk. Despite efforts, children’s vulnerability is increasing. We must act now to protect them. #ActNow #EndViolence #InvestInChildren #HLPF2024 #SDGs #Agenda2030

Another major challenge we had to address is gender-based violence and femicide (GBVF) which we characterised as the second pandemic. We need to work together to see the #EndofGBVF

DFSS Commitment: In 2023, the Division on Domestic Violence changed its name to the Division on Gender-Based Violence (DGBV) to reflect our commitment more clearly to fund and support prevention and direct services for those impacted by #domesticviolence, #sexualassault, #stalking, and #humantrafficking.

Ending Violence Against Children is possible.   Without it, achieving the 2030 Agenda is impossible. We must end violence in all settings. #ActNow #EndViolence #InvestInChildren #HLPF2024 #SDGs #Agenda2030

January is Stalking Awareness Month. Criminal harassment is an offence in the Criminal Code of Canada that includes stalking. It is a persistent pattern of unwanted behaviour by someone that makes another feel fearful for their safety. It includes behaviours like following or watching someone, repeated calling, vandalizing someone’s property, sending unwanted “gifts” and threatening someone’s family/roommates. It can also include cyberstalking, like tracking someone’s location through GPS, sending harassing messages through social media or email, using spyware to track website visits or encouraging others to harass the person. Like other forms of sexual violence, stalking is a gendered phenomenon: in Canada, 8 out of 10 stalking victims are women, and 9 out of 10 stalkers are men. At the same time, it can happen to or by anyone of any gender, and all victims of stalkers deserve support. Women aged 15-24 and Indigenous people are overrepresented among victims of stalking. If you, or someone you love, need support, Gillian's Place is here for you 24/7, 365 days a year.

❌ Trigger Warning ❌ Gender-Based Violence and Femicide As GBV and femicide cases flood the courts in South Africa's KwaZulu-Natal province, Newzroom Afrika spoke with CTAOP Program Partner KZN Network on Violence Against Women and other local activists about the internal strength that is needed to leave an abusive relationship – the first step being self-acknowledgement – and how the Network can and does support those ready to do so. https://lnkd.in/e-i9CbkM
