Following our Executive Director's interview with the journalists on 24/11/2021, at @piatokampala, her message was published by @newvisionwire.

We are grateful to the New Vision for supporting the work of #WHRDs in ending violence against women and girls in Uganda.

How many trainings must happen with Malawiam media houses on reporting on defilement and sexual abuse cases??? @zodiakonline please, do better.

[Malawi Human Rights Commission @HumanRightsMW]

Son of the African Soil, may you rest in power. You fought a great fight for human rights in Southern Africa and beyond. We will always remember how you stood firm and never relented in the human rights field. Rest in power!

[Safe Speak @SafeSpeak]

Perpetrators of abuse are more likely to target the most vulnerable to whom they have access. People with disabilities are more likely to experience abuse for long because they have difficulties when accessing the support that they need.

"Over the decades, we have managed to formulate progressive policies, programs, and legislation to end violence against women and girls, yet till date, no country has managed to reach its targets for eliminating all forms of violence and discrimination."

[For Equality Africa @forequality_mw]

One key solution to revitalizing advocacy for the elimination of violence against women & girls is adequate funding. @rugareshaz starts this crucial discussion on financing programming and advocacy for actionable change.

With the new funding commitments made at the #GenerationEquality forum, it is very important to ensure funding is allocated to the prevention of violence. @WChivhanga calls for Governments & partners to ensure #EVAWG advocacy is financed.

[Women's Weekly Journal @w_weeklyjournal]

How about 365 Days of Activism against GBV. Everyday women and girls experience physical, verbal and emotional abuse in workplaces, at home, in school and every other space they enter. Collective action is one of the ways to end this challenge @yafmzim

According to @UN_Women Fewer than 40% of the women who experience violence seek help of any sort. Whereas most look to family and friends, very few look to formal institutions, such as police & health services. Fewer than 10% of those seeking help appeal to the police.

[Malawi Women Human Rights Defenders Coalition @DefendherMw]

Did you know that 31%+ of women festival goers experience sexual violence at festivals and events?
Help us change this narrative this festival season by making a pledge to make festivals and events safer.
