🍒 From roadside stalls to bustling markets, women market and street vendors demonstrate resilience and vision, proving that small businesses can drive big change. Yet, despite their vital contributions to local economies, they are often pushed to the margins, denied the space, safety, and support they rightfully deserve. But they haven’t stopped leading, and they never will!

NOW IS THE TIME TO STAND WITH THEM BY INVESTING IN THEIR POTENTIAL, PROTECTING THEIR RIGHTS, AND BUILDING SYSTEMS THAT ENABLE THEM TO THRIVE!

In the wake of the International Day for the Elimination of Sexual Violence in Conflict, we [@Sihanet] are starkly reminded that surviving sexual violence in conflict often relies on luck - a providence countless women and girls do not have!

Our report, “SILENT WEAPONS, LOUDEST WOUNDS” documents the brutal realities of sexual violence during the early days of Sudan’s war, exposing a persistent culture of denial and impunity while calling for justice and urgent action.

🚨 The Regional Convening on Africa Family Law Reform has ended today but the conversation and advocacy for Just and Equitable Family Laws is not over!

Participants issued a Communiqué that expressed deep concern over the persistent gender inequality embedded in family laws and legal systems; condemned the intensifying and coordinated backlash against women’s rights, driven by anti-rights and anti-gender movements; and, called on governments and legislators in the East and Horn of Africa to enact pending Family Law Bills in alignment with regional and international human rights instruments, such as the Maputo Protocol and CEDAW.

A special appeal was also made regarding Sudan, where the ongoing conflict has devastated families and worsened legal and gender inequalities, particularly affecting women and girls.

🚨 Just families build just societies. It’s time for the law to reflect that truth!

From marriage and divorce to property rights, inheritance, child custody, and protection from violence, women and girls deserve legal systems that recognize their rights and protect their dignity.

🔍 An Overview of Family Law Developments in the Greater Horn of Africa Region:
🟢 Somalia & Somaliland:  family laws such as the Sexual Offences Bills are blocked, leaving millions of women without legal protection.
🟢 Sudan, South Sudan, Djibouti & Uganda: Stalled family law bills, partial reforms, deep-rooted discrimination persists.
🟢 Ethiopia & Djibouti: Family laws in place but cultural and religious norms continue to be used in systematically suppressing women’s rights

This #InternationalDayofFamilies, join us in calling for:
✅ Passage and enforcement of gender-sensitive family laws
✅ Alignment of national laws with regional and international human rights standards (e.g., #CEDAW & #MaputoProtocol)
✅ Public education and community engagement to shift harmful norms and raise legal awareness
✅ Gender transformative capacity development of legal institutions and inclusive participation in legal reform processes

“We are not just imagining power; we are claiming it,” says Hala Al-Karib in this insightful article that explores the unprecedented challenges faced by women human rights defenders in the greater Horn of Africa.

Amidst the chaos, these women push back by finding new ways to fight for their rights and reclaim their power.

To feminists feeling overwhelmed by these challenges, @Halayalkarib offers wise counsel: “Find each other. That is how movements are built. That is how we win.”

🗒️ We hope the article inspires you on your activism journey, since it reminds us of the importance of standing together in the face of adversity and the strength of community-driven advocacy.
