Rape, whether it occurs in a marriage or outside, is still rape. Countries that do not criminalize marital rape, such as #Bangladesh #Bahamas & #India leave women & girls vulnerable to sexual violence w/ impunity. @joyduckness @dailystarnews

@EducaidT As the popular saying goes, charity begins at home so I believe that to make global impacts, young people can begin from their communities. Be a change maker in your community, volunteer to educate children, when you see something wrong around you,...

Q5: With the recent call for youth engagement for global impact, in what ways do you think that youth can actively participate to stay safe during the pandemic? @EsiAniwa #ADVISESALONE

[EducAid Equality Team @EducaidT]

Well said.

[Jennifer Aniwa @EsiAniwa]

@EducaidT @PlanGlobal @UNFPA @UNICEF This is an urgent call on governments to scrap taxes on menstrual products so that every female can afford a menstrual product.

Simply, when girls struggle to access period kits, #periodpoverty continues to exist.
#ADVISESALONE

[Jennifer Aniwa @EsiAniwa]

@EducaidT @PlanGlobal Meanwhile, @UNFPA and @UNICEF in a recent joint report state that, information about menstrual health and hygiene has been disrupted by the pandemic. This translates into the increase of shame and stigma associated with menstruation.

[Jennifer Aniwa @EsiAniwa]

@EducaidT According to @PlanGlobal, when sanitary products are hard to obtain, it means people might resort to using unhygienic alternatives that can increase their risk of reproductive and urinary tract infections.

Counseling, sex education and sensitisations on gender based violence. And also empowerment talks and contributions from the community inorder to prevent such act #Advisesalone

[EducAid Equality Team @EducaidT]

We agree! Reshaping upbringing and addressing toxic masculinity or environments that serve as enablers to the perpetuation of SBGV is important to make women and girls safer! #ADVISESALONE

[Jennifer Aniwa @EsiAniwa]

@EducaidT ...Parents must train their male children to respect the rights of women and girls. When young children get accustomed to this, it stays with them forever.
#ADVISESALONE

[EducAid Equality Team @EducaidT]
