Decent work is central to economic #Income, given its inherent importance to women’s well-being and ability to advance in areas such as acquiring #income and assets.

Violence against women and girls must be treated as the emergency it is - with resources, laws and political will.
We must shift social norms, hold men to account, prevent and ultimately end all forms of this despicable & prevalent violation of human rights.
