96% of female politicians have received threatening messages or hate mail. 75% have been threatened with physical violence online. Silence isn't neutrality—it’s complicity. This is your moment to choose. ✊ #EndVAWP #SheLeads #WDN20 ➡️ https://t.co/fgvJmRxJc6

Tech-facilitated violence against women threatens democracy & rule of law. Ensuring respect & safety for all is key to a thriving democratic society. We must act to protect rights, dignity, & freedom of expression. ⚖️ #EndVAWP #SheLeads #WDN20 ➡️ https://t.co/fgvJmRyh1E

VAW costs the global economy $1.5 trillion annually, spanning healthcare, law enforcement, & lost income from missed work. 📈 Ending violence isn’t just a matter of upholding human rights—it’s crucial for economic stability. #EndVAWP #SheLeads #WDN20 ➡️ https://t.co/fgvJmRyh1E

Studies show that women who experience less or no violence are 1.5x more likely to achieve financial independence. #EndVAWP in order to safeguard rights and empower women economically, creating stronger, more prosperous communities. 💪 #SheLeads #WDN20 ➡️ https://t.co/fgvJmRyh1E

The damage caused by violence goes beyond individuals—it hollows out democracy itself ⭕ A system that drives out half its voices isn't just unrepresentative. It's unstable. No country is secure when its leaders are under siege #EndVAWP #SheLeads #WDN20 ➡️ https://t.co/fgvJmRxJc6

[Women's Democracy Network @wdn]

With over 75% of Kenyans under 35, young people are central to #Kenya's 🇰🇪 future. Meaningful engagement channels their energy into constructive political participation, increases government accountability, and reinforces stability. In support of these goals, @iriglobal and @ORPPKenya recently convened young leaders and political parties in Nairobi to advance mutual engagement and strengthen Kenya’s democracy. IRI President @DCTwining provided keynote remarks.
