Women worldwide face alarming rates of gender-based violence, including domestic abuse, sexual assault, and harmful traditional practices like female genital mutilation. At Boys Champions we educate boys on respect, consent, and healthy relationships, fostering a culture of empathy and respect that helps prevent violence against women. By engaging boys as allies in the struggle for gender equality, BoysChampions is helping to break the cycle of harmful practices and create a brighter, more equitable future for women and girls worldwide. Let’s join hands with the organization to empower the next generation to be champions of change. #femaleempowerment #change #boyschampions

How common is the experience of gender-based violence in Australia? According to Our Watch, two in five women have experienced violence since the age of 15. And, sadly, our UC community is not immune from this experience. ❤️🩹 Throughout the 16 Days of Activism, we’ve been shining a light on people who are championing change and challenging our notions of gender equality. Earlier this year, a group of remarkable women from across Uniting Communities held a workshop where they could share their personal and professional experiences of family and domestic violence, offering support, understanding and a space to heal. Participants recreated their stories through art – from writing to vinyl carving and printing. By coming together to create, they found strength in these shared experiences. 💭 One participant reflected: “This project illuminated the deep scars left by violence, while giving us space to celebrate our resilience. Storytelling and creative expression are powerful tools for breaking the silence and encouraging others to join our efforts in ending gender-based against violence.” One result of this project is the collage pictured here. 🎨 As we mark the final day of the 16 Days of Activism for 2024, we encourage you to continue seeking out stories like this to help amplify the voices of victims and survivors. There is no excuse for violence, but together we can end it. #YouAreNotAlone #EnrichingLives #UnitingCommunities

"Violence against women is perhaps the most shameful human rights violation, and it is perhaps the most pervasive," said Kofi Annan. Today, on the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, we echo this truth and reaffirm our commitment to creating a world where every woman and girl lives free from fear and harm. Globally, 1 in 3 women face violence, and every day, over 140 women are killed by intimate partners or family members—a grim reminder of the urgent need for collective action. At Mahalaya, we empower women through skill-building programs, raise awareness through targeted campaigns, and challenge societal norms to create lasting change. Ending violence against women is not just a mission—it’s a moral imperative. Join us. Together, we can build a future grounded in respect, equality, and dignity for all. #EndViolenceAgainstWomen #HumanRights #SocialImpact #GenderEquality

Thanks to the eSafety Commissioner for sharing this post and shining a light on the vital work being done by Our Watch during the #16DaysOfActivism. Preventing violence before it starts is a mission we must all champion, and addressing harmful attitudes and gender norms is key to breaking cycles of violence. As someone who actively works to combat technology-facilitated abuse and coercive control, I deeply appreciate the inclusion of abuse through technology in this conversation. Technology is a powerful enabler for connection and innovation, but in the wrong hands, it becomes a tool of control, harm, and intimidation. Tackling these issues must be part of our collective effort to ensure safety and equality in all aspects of life. The connection between harmful attitudes and broader issues like online radicalisation cannot be ignored. Recent cases in Australia and around the world highlight how young people are being drawn into harmful ideologies through digital platforms, with devastating consequences. Combating this begins with fostering positive attitudes, respect, and equality early on. By working with men and boys to encourage healthy forms of masculinity and challenge harmful narratives, we can disrupt these patterns and create a society grounded in respect and safety. Technology can amplify both harm and hope—let’s ensure we’re using it to empower, educate, and build a culture where violence has no place. This mission extends into our workplaces. Organisations have a unique role to play by creating cultures that champion respect and equality. This means implementing robust policies to address harassment, supporting education on gender equality and healthy behaviours, and fostering environments where everyone feels safe and empowered. When workplaces lead by example, they set a powerful precedent for the broader community. Let’s stand with Our Watch and others leading this critical work. Together, we can build a world, both online and off, that is free from gender-based violence—one that starts with respect, grows through empowerment, and flourishes in equality. #16DaysOfActivism #EndGBV #TFDV #GenderEquality #RespectAndSafety #OnlineSafety #WorkplaceEquality Cybersecurity Advisors Network (CyAN)
