#IWD2021 calls on us to take personal responsibility in building a world in which women live with dignity, safety and equal access to opportunity.

We stand with and by you and Xuro.

Homophobia is patriarchal violence which — no matter how small it seems — makes persons of sexual and gender minorities ‘disposable’.

If you needed a reminder that homophobic views are dangerous and violent, this is one.

[#METOO Namibia @MetooNamibia]

Count us in! 💕

We can’t emphasise the importance of comprehensive sexuality education in teaching consent, positive perceptions on sex and sexuality, and communication in sexual acts.

#ShutItAllDown

[#METOO Namibia @MetooNamibia]

Rape culture doesn’t just happen. It’s a complex set of ‘small’ acts, beliefs and stereotypes that create an environment in which the dignity of women is like...not a thing.

Wherever it is — especially in schools — it must be disrupted.

See you all tomorrow.

This is why Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE) is super important!

Empowering boys and girls + men and women and nonbinary persons has the potential and power to address the unequal power dynamics that we see, first, in society and, second, in the bedroom.

[#METOO Namibia @MetooNamibia]

New year, same vibes:

1. Seek enthusiastic consent.
2. Believe, support, and stand with survivors of SGBV.
3. Unlearn problematic and harmful beliefs.
4. Be an active bystander and call out violence and abuse.

Add your own, and... Happy 2021!

[#METOO Namibia @MetooNamibia]

Happy holidays, folks!

Remember to believe and support survivors, employ the public health guidelines to protect yourselves from COVID19, and have a jol!

Most importantly, remember to ask for consent. ❤️

[3rd First Lady, Namibia @FirstLadyNam3]

Stay merry, keep safe and apply preventative measures this festive season. Here’s how you can protect yourself and your loved ones during the holiday.

Yaaaaas!

NEVER FORGET:

[VCRC Health and Research Institute @vcrc_namibia]

Swakopmund 🔊 We are hosting a series of workshops on Reproductive Rights and Justice in collaboration with @NAPPANamibia and you’re invited. Why? because:

1. All people have the right to make decisions about their own bodies and decide if, when and how to have a child.

Over-the-moon to host our lovely guests at today's Conversations in a Diner!

Current Activity: guests have been 'shuffled' and paired up with 'strangers'.

Light food, drinks (maybe even mimosas) and, most importantly, intersectional conversations with Namibia's old and young feminists.

Withdrawal of GBV cases is a real problem so I’d like to see the evidence that informs a “solution” that’s likely to disincentive and criminalise abused women who lack resources, or fear for their lives, from reporting. Imagine we end up convicting more victims than perpetrators.

[#METOO Namibia @MetooNamibia]

Creating a culture of openly talking about sex is an important step in ending rape culture.

SPEAK ABOUT SEX.
SPEAK ABOUT MENSTRUATION.
SPEAK ABOUT CONTRACEPTIVES.
SPEAK ABOUT ACCESS TO CONDOMS.
SPEAK ABOUT SEXUAL AND GENDER IDENTITIES.

"Sex education is important." - @KalondoMonica, 2020

Here's our short brief on Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE) and why we must do what we can to ensure that Namibian children have access to it!

#16Days

[#METOO Namibia @MetooNamibia]

CSE is an incredible tool in building a world that is free of sexual and gender based violence.
A world free of discrimination.
A world of equality.
