Ethiopia’s diverse attire shines with vibrant colors and rich cultural heritage. Each style tells various stories across the nation.
Together, we celebrate sisterhood that transcends regions and traditions.

For Day 11 of @UN_Women's #16Days of Activism, we’re doubling down on the fight to ‘UNiTE to end digital violence against women and girls’.
Researching digital violence targeting women and girls �� and understanding the intersectional hate they face – often starts with lexicons. At CIR, we build and use lexicons to help us to:
👉Detect harmful content at scale, even in massive data sets
👉Spot patterns and trends in gendered, ethnic, and religious hate
👉Compare narratives across languages and communities
👉Build evidence for advocacy, safety interventions, and policy change
Today we’re publishing an expanded lexicon of inflammatory terms in Amharic, Afaan Oromo, Tigrigna, and English - now 47% larger than before.
Sharing this openly means researchers, civil society, journalists, and technologists can all investigate digital violence more rigorously and transparently. It’s the most comprehensive lexicon of its kind for analysing the Ethiopian social media landscape.

"What she wore" was one of the powerful movements led by Setaweet. If you remember the exhibition, non of the women who were subject to sexual assault were wearing clothes that exposed their body.
#16DaysofActivism
These are the revolutionary women of Ethiopia, rising with unshakable courage. Their voices echo through generations, demanding justice and dignity for all. They stand as symbols of resistance, carrying the fire of change in their hands.
Together, we push forward a revolution built on equality, resilience, and truth.
The time is now. Victory to women’s rights. 💪
Context: Liberation is not something a man gives you. You must fight for your own rights. And of course, men are our allies.
Digital spaces should be places of connection and empowerment, not fear and harassment.
Together, we must challenge the online cultures that normalize abuse and silence women’s voices.
