When we stay silent, children are left to bear the consequences alone.

Report. Speak up. Protect a child.

[Bulah Initiatives @bulah_ini]

It takes courage for a child to speak about what happened to them.

When they finally find that courage, they deserve to be heard, believed, and protected.

Listen. Believe. Act. Protect.

[Bulah Initiatives @bulah_ini]

Sexual assault thrives in the silence of a child.

Pay attention. Notice the changes. Create a safe space for them to speak.

Sometimes, silence is a cry for help.

Welcome to July🩷

On the International Day for the Elimination of Sexual Violence in Conflict, we share Zara's story of resilience and healing, originally documented by @UNICEF_Nigeria

Her journey reminds us that protection changes outcomes, support systems matter, and healing is possible.

Small conversations today can help protect children tomorrow.

How do we end GBV?

✓ Educate children about safety and respect
✓ Speak up against abuse
✓ Support survivors
✓ Enforce protective laws
✓ Challenge beliefs that excuse violence

Ending GBV is everyone's responsibility

[Bulah Initiatives @bulah_ini]

Gender-Based Violence (GBV) is any form of violence, abuse, or harmful treatment directed at a person because of their gender.

For children, exposure to GBV can affect their safety, health, education, and overall well-being.

[Bulah Initiatives @bulah_ini]

GBV against children can take different forms:

• Physical abuse
• Emotional abuse
• Sexual abuse
• Neglect

Every child deserves to grow up safe, protected, and valued.
