#BreaktheSilence There is no excuse for violence of any sort against women and children. Join us @roseacademies as we advocate to #endGBV #16DaysofActivism @WHO #DisabledHealthEquity @KidsCare_Club

Violence against women is one of the oldest and most persistent health problems, yet least acted upon. An estimated 840 million women globally – 1 in 3 women – have faced violence at least once in their lifetime including 263 million who have suffered sexual violence. Behind every statistic is a woman or girl whose life has been forever altered. We urge governments, law makers, policy makers, families, communities, and health systems to work together to make sure women and girls are empowered and safe everywhere. This is prerequisite for peace, development and health. who.int/news/item/19-11-2025…

🧵1/3 🧡#16Days #NoExcuses #EndChildMarriage🧡 12 million girls are married before the age of 18 each year. That is 23 girls every minute, nearly 1 every 3 seconds. But, what exactly are Child, Early, and Forced Marriages and Unions (CEFMU)? Let's break it down for you! ⬇️

FGM serves as the genesis of gender-based violence, disproportionately affecting women/girls and increasing their vulnerability to other forms of GBV. Investing resources in the response/prevention of #FGM is crucial in combating various forms of GBV. #MenEndFGM #16DaysOfActivism

It's always great to connect in person with amazing individuals that we work with to #EndFGM. Humbling experience to receive mentorship from @acijja of @UNICEF on the sidelines of the #FGM guidelines review meeting @WHO HQ in #Geneva. #MenEndFGM #ForEveryChild

Ahead of central regional #GirlSummmitUg we're in Buikwe District to strengthen coordination and partnership among organizations, partners and donors working to end harmful traditional practices and other human rights violations.

As we come near to #GirlSummitUg, we must remember that girls still face multiple vulnerabilities that inhibit their ability to access a basic education; risk of #ChildMarriage, #EarlyPregnancy, #GBV, #FGM, sexual exploitation and child labour.
