The safety of human beings especially women is under the spotlight, not sex work. We must act to protect women and girls from rapists and murderers. @GBVnet @GBVF_Fund @InclusionAllia1 @work_african https://t.co/dOWBwnYrY7

[GBV Prevention Net @GBVnet]

Violence against women is the result of social norms and cultural systems that devalue women and girls.

To end violence against women, we need to eliminate these social and cultural norms and promote a culture of respect and care for women and girls.

Our work on the scourge of sexual violence shows that AGYWs especially 15-19 years are most at risk. Consider the incidence of teenage pregnancy among this group in Kwazulu Natal and Eastern Cape. @Aidsfonds_intl @Yplus_Global @HerVoiceFund @GBVF_Fund @GenderLinks @AfricanGbv

[Coastal Resource Centre @centre_coastal]

All on board for another year of activism with AGYWs ahead @HerVoiceFund @Yplus_Global @GBVF_Fund @AfricanGbv @CIVICUSalliance @citizen_network #AGYW https://t.co/yxULX9XURW

It's been 1 month since Lesego went missing!!!

Lesego Mamello Motaung, 22, was last seen on 30 October 2023. She left her home in Uitsig and was on her way to work at a restaurant in Wesdene, Bloemfontein. A case of kidnapping was opened by SAPS.

[KESWA @Ke_swa]

Amidst the shadows, sexual violence against sex workers in Kenya and beyond persists. It's time to break the silence, demand justice, and empower the voiceless. Let's unite for a safer world. 💔 @Fos_Feminista @IWRAW_AP @awdf01

[Wecare @wecarecbo]

Investing in support services can reduce violence's impact by up to 40%. Let's prioritize resources for survivor-centered services.
Empowerment starts with investment. Let us allocate resources , raise awareness and challenge societal norms to create a world free from GBV.

[Africa GBV Observatory @AfricanGbv]

Yes indeed.

[Safe Speak @SafeSpeak]

It is crucial to provide sustained support to women’s rights movements as they are a critical force in the prevention and elimination of #VAWG. This support can include financial aid, capacity building & advocacy for policies that promote gender equality.

Let's not encourage statements that support sexual violence.

[Soul City Institute for Social Justice @SoulCity_SA]

Online discussions about GBV should be spaces of solidarity and support. Let's unite against responses that perpetuate harmful stereotypes or question survivors' credibility.

[Access to Medicines Platform(MeTA Kenya) @MeTAKenya2018]

Violence against women and girls remains one of the most prevalent and pervasive human rights violations in the world. Despite many countries passing laws to combat violence against women, weak enforcement and discriminatory social norms remain significant problems.
