"Redefining the feminist agenda on addressing #VAWG is a call to action to challenge existing paradigms, deconstruct harmful social norms & dismantle systemic barriers" - Nana Zulu, Hivos Southern Africa Regional Director #ICASA2023 #16DaysOfActivism #RedefiningFeminism

[Hivos Southern Africa @hivosrosa]

“How do we influence interventions from the people in power in order to support #feminism and people affected by #GBV?” - Faith Mairah 🇺🇬

#16DaysOfActivismAgainstGBV

[UN Women @UN_Women]

A reminder on #DayOfTheGirl:
Education is a fundamental RIGHT.

At the current rate of progress, 110 million girls & young women will remain out of school in 2030.

This puts them at a risk of violence, exploitation, and early marriage.
