Spain’s ongoing support of UN Women’s Safe Cities and Safe Public Spaces work has had transformative impacts in the lives of women and girls in many cities. It has also supported a growing evidence base about what works to make #safecities for women. #FundingGenderEquality

[Kathryn Travers @kattrav7]

Grateful for @AECID_es support to UN Women's work on #safecities in many different countries and globally. Here is but one example of the impact of their investment.

[UN Women Ethiopia @unwomenethiopia]

Eleven schools and the Addis Ababa University gender clubs were supported with training to raise awareness on sexual harassment and to promote positive attitudes and respectful relationships in the school environment.

Wonderful discussion with HE @MarciIen, Minister of Women, Gender Equality & Youth, #Canada.

Reviewed our partnership, #CSW67 and 🇨🇦 support for safe-public-space programmes for women & girls worldwide, buidling on its own experience at home. Let's scale up our results.

[Kathryn Travers @kattrav7]

The theme of this year’s #IWD is digit-ALL. For women and girls to truly benefit from the digital revolution, we must ensure that technology and online spaces are safe for them to do so.

Today marks one year since Russia invaded Ukraine. Millions of women have been displaced and their access to resources is limited. Our safe spaces pilot is working to bridge that gap. #safecities

[UN Women @UN_Women]

UN Women’s Safe Spaces for Women and Girls Pilot Initiative provides comprehensive support to women & girls affected by war in #Ukraine.

Each space offers multidimensional forms of support, including psychological counselling and access to legal advice.

We had an important intergenerational session on ending sexual harassment in educational settings. Girls were clear on what they needed to feel safe in schools, and the roles that we all have to play. #16days #EndSRGBV

[UN Girls' Education Initiative @UNGEI]

"Ensuring that educational settings are free from experiences & fear of sexual harassment requires a comprehensive approach that includes prevention and response and the active engagement of diverse stakeholders."

@regner_asa on how @UN_women is working to #endSRGBV.

[Kathryn Travers @kattrav7]

@pesquisapsi_ @SodexoGroup @UN_Women You were totally brilliant! It was a real pleasure to get to listen in to the workshop.

[Kathryn Travers @kattrav7]

Great to see another Canadian city taking the lead on working towards #safecities for all women and girls.

Very excited to welcome Chicago to the UN Women SC/SPS global programme! We are looking forward to working with the team at the city to work to make public spaces free of violence against women and girls. #safecities

[Chicago City Clerk @chicityclerk]

As part of the Citywide strategic plan to address Gender Based Violence, today we partnered with @chicagosmayor @UN_Women to launch the Safe Cities and Safe Public Spaces initiative. Creating safe spaces for women and girls is a top priority. #safecities #fundinggenderequality

[Kathryn Travers @kattrav7]

On #IWD I had the privilege of meeting the incredible team at Safe Horizons to learn more about the integrated support they provide to survivors.

[Åsa Regnér @regner_asa]

@SafeHorizon does impressive work in providing safe shelter & further support to survivors of domestic violence. Every women & girl has the right to live a life free of violence. I urge all govt's to further invest in this crucial infrastructure + invest in #safecities. #IWD2022

[Kathryn Travers @kattrav7]

It is amazing to see the dedication of our partner cities in their commitment to end violence against women. Check out this inspiring message we got from Sakai City! #safecities #16Days

The #GenerationEquality Forum starting today in Paris is an important milestone to advance gender equality.
COVID19 has exposed and accelerated existing gender inequalities. Let’s reshape a more inclusive and equal future now.

Had the pleasure of organizing a virtual meeting between young people and their elected officials yesterday to demystify municipal politics. Not only did everyone learn a lot, but we laughed a lot too! #youthengagement #citizenparticipation #inclusivecities

[MTL_Presidence @MTL_Presidence]

Hier avait lieu une édition virtuelle de "Une soirée à l'hôtel de ville" où l'arrondissement d'Outremont était à l'honneur. Organisée avec @ConcertationMTL, cette activité permet à des jeunes de rencontrer des élu-es et de démystifier la politique municipale. #democratie #polmtl
