[SahmatiFirst @SahmatiFirst]

During these #16days we must recognise and honour #TransSurvivors of #genderbasedviolence. Trans rights are human rights and transphobia needs to end now.

#ViolenceAgainstWomen affects women of all ages and backgrounds. 👩🏽👧🏼👵🏿
Adolescent girls, women belonging to ethnic and other minorities, transwomen, and women with disabilities can face a higher risk of violence.

#EducatingConsent is a necessary condition to bring about transformational change – in #Nairobi the programmes led by @NMNW_IMPower have led to 51% decrease in the incidence of rape among trainees.

[SahmatiFirst @SahmatiFirst]

Since an estimated 99.1% of #sexualviolence cases are never reported, it is all the more important to address this issue at the root, which is disregard for women’s autonomy and #humanrights

In 94.2% of the cases, the offender was known to the victim. What is even more alarming is that the rate of #crime registered per 100,000 women is increasing, having gone up from 58.8 in 2018 to 62.4 in 2019.

At least 350 transgender and gender-nonconforming people have been killed globally in 2020 — the vast majority trans women of color.

The U.S. death toll is at least 37, the worst year on record. Most were Black or Latinx women.

From discriminatory #laws to hate crimes to everyday transphobic attitudes - trans and gender-diverse persons continue to face stigma, #discrimination and violence from our transphobic, cis-heteropatriarchal #society.

TransVision is India’s first #YouTube channel that talks about #transgender issues and is run by transgender people. As the anchor Anjali says, “providing accurate and scientific information” is the main goal of the channel and all its programs.
