END VAWP Campaign — Day 08
Silence is not a safety strategy; it is a barrier to democracy.
When women are forced into silence by threats and violence, entire communities lose out on vital leadership. Standing up shouldn't require risking personal safety.

#ENDVAWP Violence free decision making spaces make everybody feel valued. They enable both women&men to think clearly & to make their best contributions for the development of their countries. @wdn_africa @_AfricanUnion @wdn @WDNNigeria @WDNBrasil @UWOPA @UlgaSecretariat

[Titi_layo @diane_durojaye]

We cannot keep celebrating democracy while women are systematically excluded from the rooms where decisions are made. Nigerian women are not invisible, and our voices will not be ignored.

When women's voices are suppressed during election processes, that affects a large percentage of the population.
So when we ask #WhereAreTheWomen, it is because #AllNigerianWomenMatter.

Tomorrow is another Democracy day, but without women being well represented in the governance structures of Nigeria.

End VAWP Campaign— DAY 06

Violence against women costs up to **3.7% of a country’s GDP**. 📉
To fix this, we must:
✅ Enforce strict anti-VAWP laws.
✅ Fund responsive budgets.
✅ Ensure safe political spaces.
Safety is foundational to progress. 🌍

Women-led organizations & women's rights defenders must be able to carry out their work safely & without fear of harassment or retaliation.

End VAWP Campaign — DAY 3
When we don't protect women in leadership, everyone loses. Globally, women hold only **27.5%** of parliamentary seats due to systemic abuse and harassment. It's time for a change.

What are the political parties doing about this? How are we protecting women? #WhereAreTheWomen #AllNigerianWomenMatter

[StrictlyEsther🌻🌻 @alaribeesther]

Women bought forms, mobilised voters, met the requirements. Some were pressured to step down through "consensus". This is not democracy, it is institutionalised gatekeeping.

Can INEC decide when political parties hold their primaries? Yes. Can it shorten timelines already guaranteed by law? Definitely not.

A Federal High Court has drawn a line between INEC’s powers and its limits ahead of the 2027 elections, delivering a ruling that could shape how parties select candidates in the months ahead.

What exactly did the court say, and why does it matter for 2027?

Convenings build trust, sharpen shared priorities and strengthen feminist movements.

Through #ACTtoEndViolence, partners and grantees across Africa are deepening coalitions to sustain collective action to #EndVAWG.

@EU_Partnerships @UNTrustFundEVAW

[UN Women Africa @unwomenafrica]

When partnerships are rooted in trust, shared purpose, and feminist principles, they do more than support programmes. They help build the conditions for lasting change #FAWG. That is the value of #ACTtoEndViolence across Africa and Latin America. #EndVAWG
