@ecfindia @MeerFoundation @ShadhikaIndia @INBreakthrough @Badlaav4 Safety, needs, and access to spaces looks different for different people based on their identities and lived experiences, like those of gender, caste, disability, race, etc. (2/3) #SafeSpaces #16DaysofActivism #16Days2023 #InvestInSurvivors

@ecfindia @MeerFoundation @ShadhikaIndia @INBreakthrough @Badlaav4 Building safe, inclusive public environments is an important means to address socio-cultural inequalities in relations of power like gender. For us, equity and inclusion are the basis of building safe spaces. (1/3) #SafeSpaces #16DaysofActivism #16Days2023 #InvestInSurvivors

@ecfindia Ensuring that no one is discriminated against based on their gender identity or expression. This involves challenging stereotypes, biases, and prejudices that contribute to discrimination and working towards a culture of acceptance and understanding. #16DaysOfActivism

It means creating a safe place for people to be themselves without judgment is our goal. We want open conversations, respect for different views, & embracing everyone's unique journey. Everyone should be free to move through life without any barriers #InclusionMatters #SafeSpaces

Our second question..!! @MeerFoundation @ShadhikaIndia @Badlaav4 @onefuture_india @INBreakthrough

Creating safe spaces for all genders affected by gender-based violence faces challenges rooted in societal perceptions, inadequate resources, and legal gaps. #16DaysOfActivismAgainstGBV #SafeSpaceForAllGender

What a lovely start to the weekend! As we wrap up #16DaysofActivism, our partners @ShadhikaIndia , @INBreakthrough ; @voice4girls and @EMpowerweb participated in the TweetChat organised by us today evening. (1/2)

@ecfindia @INBreakthrough @EMpowerweb @ShadhikaIndia @voice4girls @Leenakshi18 @PrithaC24 @SunilG97462233 @RahulKusurkar @MaheshM08272441 To protect ourselves, report the abuse and user to social media platforms, and if necessary, law enforcement. Also, there are steps we can take to help prevent online bullying, like reporting users and calling out misleading information. #16DaysofActivism2022

The last question of today's TweetChat: How can we prevent online harassment? #16DaysofActivism2022 #16DaysOfActivism

@ecfindia @INBreakthrough @EMpowerweb @ShadhikaIndia @Leenakshi18 @UrasmitaG @RahulKusurkar @MaheshM08272441 @SunilG97462233 @PrithaC24 In this society, if a woman dresses up according to western fashion, she is considered unfit and should accept the hatred and verbal violence that comes her way. (1/2)

@ecfindia @INBreakthrough @EMpowerweb @ShadhikaIndia @voice4girls @Leenakshi18 @RahulKusurkar @MaheshM08272441 @SunilG97462233 @PrithaC24 Through my working journey, I had seen women victims justify domestic violence, mainly due to social norms which lead them to believe that they are not good wives and deserve punishment. #16DaysofActivism2022

A very specific question, as the campaign is about violence towards girls and women Share your thoughts.. #16DaysofActivism2022 #16DaysOfActivism

@ecfindia @INBreakthrough @ShadhikaIndia @voice4girls @Leenakshi18 @RahulKusurkar @SunilG97462233 @UrasmitaG @swarnlatam @MaheshM08272441 EMpower has a keen focus on Non-Traditional Livelihoods (NTL), supporting programmes that help challenge perceptions around what women can and cannot do, shattering stereotypes for both men and women. These girls and women become role models in their communities.

@ecfindia @INBreakthrough @ShadhikaIndia @voice4girls @EMpowerweb @Leenakshi18 @RahulKusurkar @SunilG97462233 @swarnlatam @MaheshM08272441 And, Yes, we all should remember that chores have no gender!!!!!!. Having mastered household skills will benefit both our girls and our boys, showing them that there’s no such thing as men’s work or women’s work and it’s all just work! #16DaysofActivism2022

The 4th question of the day: What gender roles need to be challenged? #16DaysofActivism2022 #16DaysOfActivism

@ecfindia @INBreakthrough @ShadhikaIndia @voice4girls @EMpowerweb @Leenakshi18 @RahulKusurkar @SunilG97462233 @swarnlatam @MaheshM08272441 The first point must be the TOYS!! Let toys be toys for girls and boys! Make sure our children get a wide variety of toys to play with. We never know what they’ll gravitate toward or why. The point is that we won’t know what our child might be into unless he is given options

@ecfindia @Leenakshi18 @INBreakthrough @MaheshM08272441 @UrasmitaG @ShadhikaIndia @EMpowerweb @RahulKusurkar @SunilG97462233 2. It is often considered that one cannot face violence at the hands of known people. 3. "Log kya kahenge", "What will people say" - the entire idea of societal image of a family. 4. Girls are often told that girls from "good" & "honourable" families do not talk/report violence

@voice4girls @ecfindia @Leenakshi18 @SunilG97462233 @EMpowerweb @INBreakthrough @RahulKusurkar @ShadhikaIndia @swarnlatam And, look into the facts where, Intimate Partner Violence- this is the most common type of violence against women in all societies, and among rich and poor women is violence by an intimate male partner or by a former partner. #16DaysofActivism2022 #16DaysOfActivismAgainstGBV

@voice4girls @ecfindia @Leenakshi18 @SunilG97462233 @EMpowerweb @INBreakthrough @RahulKusurkar @ShadhikaIndia @swarnlatam Yes. The statics is ALARMING! In sexual violence at work,women are many more times at risk than other genders. Even though women and girls make up a far smaller percentage of murder victims,they are disproportionately represented worldwide as victims of GBV. #16DaysOfActivism

What do you think? #16DaysofActivism2022 #16DaysOfActivism

@ShadhikaIndia @ecfindia @Leenakshi18 @UrasmitaG @EMpowerweb @INBreakthrough @RahulKusurkar @voice4girls @swarnlatam All oppression is connected, every struggle and pain are common struggle and hence calls for collective rising up. #shadhika #ecf
