From theatre performances to music, traditional dance, kabaddi wrestling and more, youth were at the forefront of powerful conversations with one clear message:
Ewoman and girl deserves to live free from violence.
#EndViolenceAgainstWomen#STOPGBV#TokomezaUkatiliWaKijinsia
On the sidelines of the event, police, social welfare officers and paralegals are engaging youth and community members, sharing critical information on accessing #GBV support services.
When people know where to turn, communities are better equipped to prevent violence and ensure survivors receive support.
When youth raise their voices, change moves louder. 📢🎶
UN Women, @EUinTZ & @sautizabusara are joining forces once again in Zanzibar for a youth outreach event on preventing violence against women and girls and raising awareness of available services.
Through youth-led performances, public dialogue, music and dance, participants are coming together with one clear message:
#EndViolenceAgainstWomenandGirlsNow!
#EVAW #GBV #InspireToLead #FamiliaSalamaJamiiSalama
What happens when communities are part of the solution?
✓ Awareness increases.
✓ Silence is challenged.
✓ Survivors are better supported.
✓ Local leaders carry the message forward.
Community action is essential to ending violence against women and girls.

“Changamoto kubwa zinazowakumba wanawake ni ukosefu wa uelewa wa haki zao pamoja na gharama za kuzifuatilia. Hali hii huwafanya wengi kushindwa kuzitetea haki zao, jambo linaloendeleza ukandamizaji na ukosefu wa usawa.”

Monica Patrick: 🗣️
Kazi za nyumbani zinapaswa kufanya kwa ushirikiano mwanamke na mwaume, tunapaswa kugawana majukumu na kuondoa dhana kuwa ni kazi za wanawake pekee.

For too long, Africa’s resources have been extracted, the value captured elsewhere, the environmental damage left behind.
No more exploitation. No more plundering.
The people of Africa must benefit - first & most - from the resources of Africa.

“Malezi ni jukumu la wanawake.”
“Ardhi ni ya mwanaume.”
Filimon aliwahi kuamini mitazamo hiyo potofu inayochochea ukosefu wa usawa wa kijinsia. Lakini alipobadili fikra hizo, hakubadili maisha yake tu, bali pia alianza kuleta mabadiliko chanya katika jamii yake.

Do you know where women and girls in your community can go when their rights are violated?
Justice needs funding to reach EVERYONE.
Public budgets can support legal aid, rights education, and services that help women and girls seek justice.
To strengthen access to justice:
⚖️ Participate in public meetings
⚖️ Propose legal aid and rights education
⚖️ Demand fair and equal services for all
Justice must be accessible to everyone.
Budgets aren’t just numbers, they shape who gets access to tech, markets, essential services, and more.
Making sure planning and budgeting consider the different realities women and men face helps ensure public resources reach everyone who needs them.
