Famira Chaudhary’s Post

Every woman deserves to live free from fear and harm. Yet, countless women and girls face violence daily in their homes, workplaces, and communities. On November 25th, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, the world unites to amplify voices, foster awareness, and drive action against gender-based violence. This year’s theme calls for collective responsibility. Whether you are an advocate, educator, policymaker, or simply someone who cares, your role matters. Together, we can challenge societal norms, demand justice for survivors, and build a future where safety and equality are universal rights. Every action counts. Let’s stand together to say NO to violence and YES to respect, empowerment, and safety for all.

Justice is a cornerstone of any thriving society, yet for too many women, it remains an elusive dream. The challenges they face, discrimination, inequality, and systemic exclusion demand bold action and meaningful change. At Safe Space Initiative, we believe in justice systems that don’t just exist but work for women. Our co-founder, Osasumwen Edobor, reminds us why this is crucial. This #16DaysOfActivism, we join voices with HiiL | User-friendly Justice and other advocates to call for #PeopleCentredJustice, justice that focuses on survivors’ journeys, breaks cycles of violence, and creates pathways to empowerment. Let’s build a future where every woman can access the justice she deserves. The time to act is now. #16daysofactivism #safespaceinitiative

On this International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, I, Adv. Neyha Chaudhary, stand in solidarity with all women who have experienced violence, injustice, and discrimination. This day serves as a reminder of the collective responsibility we share to ensure a safer, more equitable world for women. We must raise our voices, support survivors, and challenge harmful societal norms that perpetuate violence. Let us work together to eradicate all forms of violence and promote dignity, equality, and respect for women everywhere. It's time for change. Let’s act, advocate, and make a difference.

Today, the South West Regional Delegation of Women's Empowerment and the Family officially launched 16 Days of Activism Against Violence on Women and Girls. The 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence is an annual international campaign that aims to raise awareness and mobilize action to end violence against women and girls. It begins on November 25th, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, and runs until December 10th, which is Human Rights Day. This campaign highlights the prevalence of violence against women as a human rights violation. The ultimate goal of this activism is to achieve a world where women and girls can live free from fear and violence. This requires a sustained effort from all stakeholders to challenge harmful norms, promote equality, and ensure accountability for perpetrators. Hence, there's an urgent need for our collective action.

Men, it’s time to take action. Ending violence against women and girls is not just a moral responsibility—it’s a shared one. 💜 Beyond Equality has been working with men and boys for over 10 years, empowering them to step up and be part of the solution. During these 16 Days of Action, we want to highlight the work we do 365 days a year to challenge harmful norms, take accountability, and create a safer, more equal world. 🌍 So, what can all men do to end violence toward women?

We’re in the midst of #16DaysOfActivism against gender-based violence – an international movement that’s about putting an end to violence against women and girls. At Young Women’s Trust, we know that violence and discrimination are deeply linked. Gender-based violence fuels inequality, making it harder for young women to thrive, both in the workplace and in society. We stand with everyone affected by this and with the many incredible organisations working for change every day 🧡 Refuge, Women for Women International, Fawcett Society, Rape Crisis England & Wales, Women's Equality Party UK, Women's Aid Federation of England, Respect UK, Womankind Worldwide, Rights of Women, SafeLives, Centre for Women's Justice, The Survivors Trust, End Violence Against Women Coalition, UN Women UK, Plan International, Southall Black Sisters.

Together, we can break the silence and create a world free from Gender-Based Violence! I stand in solidarity with survivors, advocates, and activists working tirelessly to end violence against women and girls. Let's raise our voices, amplify the message, and demand action. We owe it to ourselves, our communities, and future generations to create a world where everyone can live without fear of violence. But let's be clear: ending GBV is NOT just a 16-day campaign, it's a 365-day commitment! We must continue to educate, advocate, and act beyond these 16 days. Let's make a collective effort to create a culture of respect, equality, and justice for all. #16DaysOfActivism #GenerationEquality #BreakTheSilence #365DaysOfAction Students For Liberty Ladies of Liberty Alliance

8 March marks #internationalwomensday , a day dedicated to women’s rights. Women’s rights are human rights and must be promoted, protected and respected as such. In 2024, we are in a better place than before, but there is still a long way to go. Today is a day to stand up for equality, equity, justice and inclusion! KMEWO has been working tirelessly towards these values for 25 years to ensure that Black and Minoritised women, survivors of domestic Abuse and harmful practices have a loud voice in Islington, across London and in every single place where their human rights are found violated. To mark International Women’s Day, we are launching our 2022-2023 Annual Report, showcasing the work we have done over the past year. At a glance: 691 women felt safer and escaped abusive relationships through our specialist VAWG advocacy, advice and support. 77 women improved their mental health through 1:1 culturally sensitive counselling in their mother tongue 94 IT devices distributed to women in refuges to reduce digital isolation. 36 frontline professionals in the voluntary and statutory sectors received Harmful Practices for Professionals training to better understand the complex concept of harmful practices and its intersection with VAWG so that they can improve their responses to the needs of survivors of domestic abuse. https://lnkd.in/dVtJ9sQp #inspireinclusion
