Did you know that in CA, there is no minimum age for marriage? Every year over 8,000 minors are entered into state sanctioned marriages, and this number is on the rise. #AB2924 will finally end the gruesome act of state sanctioned child marriage in California. #EndChildMarriage

Only 0.2%
That's the percentage of the overall aid and development spending allocated to gender-based violence prevention in 2022.
It's time to invest and give #NoExcuse for violence against women and girls.

For every 1,000 sexual assaults, only 310 will be reported. Of those 310, 50 of those cases will lead to arrests, and only 25 perpetrators will be incarcerated.

We must believe survivors in order to hold more perpetrators accountable for their crimes.

There is #noexcuse

[Zonta Club of Berkeley/North Bay and Beyond @ZontaBerkeley]

Survivors of sexual assault deserve help and support. We must collectively fight back against victim blaming to make our communities safer, and ensure that those who do harm are held accountable for their crimes.

Gender-based violence is everybody’s business.
There is #NoExcuse for inaction when you witness it.

Harassment is never okay. In person or online, speak up when you see it.

👉Technology should be used to PREVENT violence, not exacerbate it.

Most people think public defense was invented by 9 men on the Supreme Court 60 years ago. They’re wrong. Public defense was invented by women 130 years ago. Read the full story from @GalvinAlmanza: https://t.co/7vKga9HuUT
