(3/4) Real change begins earlier when threats are taken seriously, when access is controlled, when justice is certain. Remember, the goal isn’t to track these attacks, it’s to stop the next one.

(1/4) 13 acid attacks in March. Thirteen moments where anger turned into action, and action turned into irreversible harm. Look closely, and a pattern emerges, rejection, domestic disputes, stalking, revenge. These aren’t isolated incidents, they are warnings we continue to miss

(2/2) Tell us, what would make it safer? #TwoRealities #WomenInPublicSpaces #ToGetHerStronger #WomensRights #MeerFoundation #SDG5 #CelebrateDiversity #UnityInDiversity #InclusionMatters #DiversityAndInclusion #EmpowerSurvivors #GirlPower #Equality #WomensRights #IWD26

(1/2) Safety is not experienced equally. While risk exists for everyone, the way it is felt and navigated is shaped by gender, lived experience, and everyday behaviour. The city is shared. But the sense of safety within it is not. There are two realities.

(3/3) Often, two realities. Tell us, what advice would you give your daughter? And would you give the same to your son? #TwoRealities #WomenInPublicSpaces #ToGetHerStronger #WomensRights #VoicesThatInspire #MeerFoundation #SDG5 #EmpowerThroughWork #WomenEmpowerment #IWD2026

(2/3) This advice is given with care. It is shaped by experience and repeated across generations. But it also raises a quieter question. Why does so much of this responsibility sit with her? In the same world, people are raised to prepare for very different realities.

(1/3) What would you tell your daughter? The answers often sound familiar. Learn to protect yourself. Stay alert. Share your location. Avoid certain hours. Carry something for safety. Be cautious.

(2/3) Sometimes it comes as advice that feels like a command. Sometimes it is a quiet, unspoken decision. The same outfit. The same city. Yet often, two very different realities. Tell us honestly, have you ever changed the way you dress to feel safer?

(1/3) What we wear is often seen as a choice, but for many women, it is also a calculation, shaped by where they are going, the time of day, who might be around, and how it may be perceived.

(2/3) For others, these thoughts may never arise at all. Living in the same world, yet navigating Two Realities. Tell us honestly, what’s something you’ve never had to worry about because of your gender?

(1/3) Some move quietly through everyday life, unnoticed by some, but deeply familiar to others. For many women, it can be the constant awareness of surroundings, the timing of travel, or the instinct to stay alert in unfamiliar places.

(3/4) Sometimes even here, there are Two Realities, the person experiencing harassment and the bystander deciding whether they can safely act. Tell us honestly, would you step in? Or have you ever?

(1/4) Public spaces belong to everyone, but how people respond in difficult moments can vary. When harassment happens in public, there’s often a split-second decision for those around, whether to step in, call it out, or find a way to help.

Hoping you’re surrounded by love, laughter and the people who make everything feel a little more special. Here’s to a day full of togetherness and warmth. Eid Mubarak to you all. #EidMubarak #MeerFoundation #WarmWishes #FestiveJoy #EidBlessings #FamilyAndLove #SpecialMoments
