SheSays

Throughout my career, I’ve been reminded of my gender. When I complained of harassment @ work,I was told-“But you work on equality, he still did this to you?!” This ad hit home, it’s unapologetic in demanding women’s right to financial autonomy+dignity at work #WomensDay #IWD2024

Glad to conduct two interactive gender sensitization sessions with students from Nagrik Shikshan Sanstha's college. We are pleased to see that we are achieving our goal of empowering youth through our sessions. #shesaysindia #youthempowerment #gendersensitizationworkshop

SheSays Gender Advocacy Manager Mubasshira conducted a Gender Sensitization session at K J Somaiya College of Arts and Commerce.We are pleased to see the young generation leave the session feeling empowered and with a sense of responsibility for breaking the cycle of sexual abuse

#JusticeforBilkisBano If you live in Mumbai, please show up tomorrow, to take a stand that this injustice is not what we stand for as a people. As a country. We need to stand tall in our solidarity and demand the remission be revoked for the 11 convicted gang-rapists & murderers.

We need a blueprint and the Pathfinders Report developed by the NYU is that. To find out more about the report and identify what are the concrete steps that we can take to move beyond rhetoric to action pls visit - sdg16.plus/delivering-equ… @SDG16Plus 3/3

If we are to continue to mobilise and advocate for positive change, we need to be empowered with data, know what are tried and tested policies that can change the current situation and what are the fault lines we need to step away from. @SDG16Plus 2/3

Whilst countries are providing booster shots to their ppl,many others in the global south have a vaccination rate of less than 10%. It’s hard to look at the current crisis of inequality and climate and yet have hope. @SDG16Plus 1/3

Since 2016,at least 7,243 people have been arrested under UAPA.But less than 3 percent of total arrests – were convicted under the legislation,according to government data. It’s clear,UAPA is being as a mechanism to silence dissenting voices. #HumanRightsDay #StandUp4HumanRights

Like many others, Hidme is clearly being targeted for her political work in defence of adivasi lands and lives and standing up against the might of the state and profit-making corporations. #HumanRightsDay #StandUp4HumanRights

Hidme Markam anticipated being targeted by the State, just like every tribal rights activist who fought for human rights in Bastar, by confronting state repression. #HumanRightsDay #StandUp4HumanRights

Hidme Markam is an Adivasi human rights defender advocating for indigenous rights, against police and state violence, and the impact of mining in the State of Chhattisgarh. #releaseallpoliticalprisoners #HumanRightsDay #StandUp4HumanRights

While High Court granted bail to Bharadwaj, after over 3 years behind bars, it was denied the other accused in the Bhima-Koregaon case:Rona Wilson,Varavara Rao,Sudhir Dhawale, Surendra Gadling,Shoma Sen,Mahesh Raut, Vernon Gonsalves and Arun Ferreira. #FreeAllPoliticalPrisoners

For daring to challenge state sponsored human rights violations against the most marginalised communities, she spent over 1000 days in jail as one of the BK16 accused, under the draconian law of UAPA. #HumanRightsDay #StandUp4HumanRights

She has dedicated more than 3 decades to work for the most marginalised communities, to ensure they have guaranteed access to their rights. #HumanRightsDay #StandUp4HumanRights

Today we honour Sudha Bharadwaj, someone who’s been a defender of indigenous people's constitutional rights to their land and advocated for worker rights to a living wage and decent working conditions. #HumanRightsDay #StandUp4HumanRights
