6.1m women, 383,000 children, 76,700 people with disabilities & 51,000 youth will benefit from the programmes of our newly appointed grant partners. This is key to accelerate urgent interventions in under-resourced & under-funded parts of SA. #GBVFResponseFund1 #EndGBVF

Wow, wow, wow! So excited to see this @anneshongwe!!

Being a housewife is still work.

In a landmark ruling, a high court judge in Kenya accepted that housework contribution is work, granting Mary Wambui half of the marital home in her divorce settlement, following 13 years of marriage.

I highly recommend watching this insightful webinar hosted by @JSE_Group and @GBVF_Fund. Really excellent panel. Not least @AJPhillipson British High Commissioner to South Africa.

Before joining our @future_females Business School programme, Susan had not considered using social media to promote her brand.
She has now established her social media platforms, improved her website, and feels more confident to grow her business online.

[UK in South Africa🇬🇧🇿🇦 @ukinsouthafrica]

We can achieve gender equality when we… engage men & boys to act as champions of women’s rights, every day.

Hear from the young men involved in the @TheJusticeDesk Ntsika yeThemba project & how it is encouraging them to promote equality and act as positive role models.

[UK in South Africa🇬🇧🇿🇦 @ukinsouthafrica]

It’s the start of Women’s Month!

Inspired by the Lions being in SA, BHC staff have been thinking about how they can contribute to a ‘level playing field’.

What are you going to do to champion gender equality?

[Emily Esplen @EmilyEsplen]

Really pleased to join @WHO & @UN_Women today for #CSW65 to reflect on what works (and doesn’t) to prevent violence against women. We have the knowledge to eliminate #VAWG, but this needs a sustained approach + political will & resources commensurate with the scale of the problem

[Fiona C Clark @FionaClarkinSA]

Shocking that violence against women #VAWG continues relentlessly. When will we put a stop to this?

[Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus @DrTedros]

.@WHO published the largest study ever conducted on the prevalence of violence against women. The results paint a horrifying picture: 1 in 3 women 🌍 experience violence. Younger women among those are most at risk. https://t.co/z5XsrnuM1o #EndViolence
