We are inspired to continue learning, sharing knowledge, and working alongside partners and communities to advance justice, equality, and lasting positive change for all.

[Project Alert VAW @ProjectalertVaw]

Project Alert believes that strengthening our capacity is key to making a greater impact in the promotion of human rights, dignity, and social justice.

[Project Alert VAW @ProjectalertVaw]

It deepened our understanding of human rights mechanisms, state reporting processes, and shadow reporting under the African Charter and the Maputo Protocol, equipping us with stronger tools to advocate for accountability and the protection of rights.

We must understand that separation does not automatically guarantee safety. Survivors may still need protection, support, and access to resources that help them.

The relationship has ended, but the abuse hasn’t. 💔

Not all abuse ends when a woman walks away from a relationship.

Sometimes, the control continues through threats, harassment, financial manipulation, using children as leverage, or attempts to damage her reputation.

[Project Alert VAW @ProjectalertVaw]

This is known as post-separation abuse.

It can leave survivors feeling trapped, exhausted, and afraid, even after they’ve made the difficult decision to leave.

[Project Alert VAW @ProjectalertVaw]

Culture should protect our values, not harm our women and girls.

Practices such as female genital mutilation, child marriage and harmful widowhood rites can violate their rights, dignity and safety.

Let’s preserve positive traditions and speak up against harmful ones.

Not every behaviour presented as love, care or protection is healthy.Excessive jealousy, controlling decisions and invading someone’s privacy can be warning signs of controlling behaviour.

Healthy relationships should allow room for trust, respect, boundaries and individuality.
Let’s change the narrative. ❤️

Leaving abuse is not weakness. Choosing yourself is courage. Walking away from abuse can be difficult, frightening, and complicated. But choosing safety, dignity, and peace is never something to be ashamed of.If you’re experiencing domestic violence, you are not alone

[Project Alert VAW @ProjectalertVaw]

Financial abuse is abuse too.Let’s talk about it, create awareness, and help women understand that they deserve financial autonomy and safety.

[Project Alert VAW @ProjectalertVaw]

Financial dependence can make it harder to leave an abusive relationship.When someone controls your money, your work, or your access to basic needs, it can become a tool of control.

[Project Alert VAW @ProjectalertVaw]

Setting a boundary is not an act of disrespect.

Everyone has the right to communicate what they are comfortable with and what they are not.

Healthy relationships respect boundaries.

[Project Alert VAW @ProjectalertVaw]

It requires a collective awakening where every one of us steps up to be a vigilant, empathetic neighbor who refuses to let suffering go unnoticed in our own backyards.

[Project Alert VAW @ProjectalertVaw]

We often measure the quality of our neighborhoods by the strength of their physical infrastructure—the paved roads, the well-lit streets, and the beautiful homes. Yet, the true heart of a community lies in the compassion and connection of its people.

[Project Alert VAW @ProjectalertVaw]

The profound responsibility of ending violence against women and girls is far too heavy to be carried by governments, civil society groups, and women's rights organizations alone.
