Since the outbreak of #COVID19, there has been a spike in reports of violence against women.
#16Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence is an opportunity to make a difference for the better.
Every one of us has a role to play. #OrangeTheWorld
Every time a woman speaks up about her experience of sexual violence and she’s not believed, the cycle of abuse continues.
Every time you hear a survivor’s story:
1-Listen.
2-Believe.
3-Support.
#OrangeTheWorld#16Days
25 November is the International Day to End Violence against Women & the world 🌎 is turning orange 🧡 to stand against gender-based violence. Let’s kick off the #16Days of Activism and #OrangeTheWorld!
During this #16daysofActivism2021 we pledged to stand in solidarity with women in their choices, be it her safety, career choices, what she wears, her political and social views, and her independence from discriminatory social norms. #OrangeTheWorld
