I stand with those affected by gender-based violence—a crisis impacting 1 in 3 women globally. These are not just numbers; they are our mothers, daughters, sisters, and neighbors. At World Renew, we believe this fight is about more than addressing individual harm. It’s about breaking cycles of abuse and creating communities where dignity and justice prevail. The 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence is a time to reflect, act, and advocate for change. Through our devotional guide (link in comments), we share stories of survivors—stories of resilience, courage, and hope. These stories call us to compassion and action, echoing Isaiah 1:17: “Seek justice; defend the oppressed.” I invite you to join us. Together with our partners, we are building pathways to safety, hope, and transformation. Let’s commit to being a Community that Cares and acts boldly. Thanks to fellow devotional authors: Kaitlyn Slate Kagwiria Muturia Jamie McIntosh and more! #16DaysOfActivism #EndGenderBasedViolence #WorldRenew #JusticeForAll

Gender Based Violence is complex,and hence requires a multisectoral and multipronged approach.This reflection and advocacy guide created by World Renew, Citizens' for Justice and IJM- Canada, surfaces those complexities but also offers solutions and actions we can take.I hope you find inspiration and urgency to take action as you read these 16 reflections from diverse global and national contexts.

Our Advocacy Director, Katrin Hugendubel presented the 2024 #RainbowMap to European governments at the #IDAHOTforum24 in The Hague today. “Across Europe, LGBTI people are being targeted by hate speech and violence and their human rights are being actively undermined, yet we still see too many countries across the region stalling in moving legal protection forward and not renewing their commitments through national strategies and action plans. This non-action is dangerous, as without proper legislation in place to protect minorities, including LGBTI people, it will be much too easy for newly elected governments to quickly undermine human rights and democracy.” Read more in our press release at https://lnkd.in/eYiH9-bE
