This is Ali Hussain, my aunt's husband who stripped me of my innocence at just 16. He sexually abused me for over a year until my mother found out. He would come over to our place often and sexually abuse me. Moreover, he has sexually abused many other children 1/5
Gender-based street harassment is a everyday thing and limits women’s access to public spaces, cause them to choose less convenient routes, alter their routines, and even quit jobs because they can’t face the thought of one more day of harassment. #16DaysofActivism2021#16days
Today we must reaffirm inclusion for all. From education to protection against violence and abuse. Leadership and participation of persons with disabilities toward an inclusive, accessible and sustainable post-COVID-19 world.
Let’s help to create a more equal society.
Coercive control may not be visible to the eye and can be hard to identify but it is domestic abuse. Coercive control generally involves manipulation and intimidation to make you scared, isolated, and dependent on the abuser. #16DaysofActivism#OrangeTheWorld#EndGBV
Marriage should not be viewed as a licence for the man to rape his wife.
It is beyond doubt that marital rape is widespread, and refusal to recognise it emanates from misogyny and patriarchal mindsets that are deeply entrenched in our society. This must stop! #16DaysofActivism
Let us join hands to not only fight discrimination but to spread awareness and educate everyone,

While we never want sexual assault to happen, we have to end the stigma around sexual assault so that victims can seek the resources they need. We need to support survivors more intentionally so that the shameful feeling they carry diminishes.

Victim-blaming attitudes marginalize the survivor and make it harder to come forward and report the abuse. If the survivor knows that you or society blames her for the abuse, they will not feel safe or comfortable coming forward with their stories.

Sexual violence in public spaces, are an everyday occurrence for women and girls. This reality reduces their freedom of movement,ability to participate in school, work, public life and limits their access to essential services and negatively impacts their health and well-being.
Survivors of sexual assault deserves to be heard, supported, and believed. Social pressure & stigma, both in the home & community, can be major obstacles to overcome for survivors. As a society, it is essential that we believe women who makes these allegations.
