Saoirse Ronan and Ilona Maher sparked a powerful social media conversation advocating for women's safety. I'm a staunch supporter of women and women's rights but it isn't enough to be a 'Girls girl'. In order to enact sustainable change we need more men to become involved. Genltemen, here are four actionable steps you can take everyday to help create a safer space for the women in your lives. This is how you change the definition of what it means to be a 'Ladies man': 1. Speak out against harassment and violence directed at women and girls. 2. Set a new standard within your circle of male friends and demonstrate how to treat women and girls with dignity and respect. 3. Advocate for public policies that prioritize women and girl's safety. 4. Build social connections with the girls and women in your lives through holding open dialogue on the subject of safety, being open to learning, and finding common ground. #PSA #Awareness #Womensrights #Publicsafety #Mensupportingwomen

Episode 28: Silent Chains: The Struggle for Women's Rights Against Human Trafficking Yaprak Naz Karakuş joined us to talk about human trafficking. Human trafficking of women is a grave violation of human rights that affects millions globally, yet remains an under-discussed issue. Women and girls constitute the majority of trafficking victims, often coerced into forced labor or sexual exploitation. This crime strips individuals of their dignity, freedom, and basic rights, leading to severe physical and psychological trauma, including anxiety, PTSD, and depression. Trafficking not only devastates the lives of victims but also tears apart families and communities, perpetuating cycles of poverty and exploitation. By talking about human trafficking, we raise awareness, empower survivors, and mobilize action against traffickers. It is essential to shine a light on this dark issue to prevent future exploitation and ensure that every woman and girl can live free from fear and coercion. Ending human trafficking requires collective responsibility and relentless advocacy. Join us to learn in a matter of “minutes” why addressing human trafficking is necessary for societal growth! https://lnkd.in/dQFM-ewu

I was invited on The Parenting Show / AM 640 Toronto with Pina Crispo to talk about the normalization of violence against women/girls through misogynistic social media posts that specifically target children. These posts and short videos are far from harmless, and over time work to normalize and validate more serious violence against women like rape, violent pornography, and even femicide. Yes, having conversations with your children about internet safety is important. Limiting or, dare I say, eliminating social media for kids is also important. However, the root causes of violence against women (patriarchy, gender inequity, racism, and more) are the real issues we need to address in our homes with our kids. It is our job as parents/guardians just as much as it is to feed, clothe, and financially support our children. Tune into the episode named "Social Media: Not for Younger Kids" here: https://lnkd.in/d9X2h6jU

Black mothers face a stark reality in the United States—based on race alone, with no other contributing factors, they are three to four times more likely to die from pregnancy-related causes than white women. Centering the experiences of Black women and their advocates, “Birthing Justice” documents the need for #reproductivejustice and #maternalhealth while humanizing Black mothers and their children. Watch the powerful documentary on PBS here: https://to.pbs.org/3vF9V6Z

For far too long, women and girls have been silenced, marginalized, and oppressed. The weight of patriarchy has borne down on them, stifling their voices, erasing their stories, and denying them their basic human rights. The statistics are staggering: one in three women experience physical or sexual violence, and millions are trapped in cycles of poverty, exploitation, and abuse. But we refuse to accept this as the status quo. We refuse to stand idly by while women and girls continue to suffer. It's time for a revolution. It's time for a reckoning. _Introducing "Her Rise, Her Reign"_ In solidarity with the 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence, Shecoops Empowerment Initiative presents "Her Rise, Her Reign" - a powerful 2-day virtual event to empower women and girls to rise above violence, stigma, and discrimination.

What We Do: Raising Awareness Through Imagery Every individual has the right to advocate for the protection and realization of human rights for women and children. Yet, a significant gap exists between established human rights norms and their enforcement. This is where NGOs like AIMS Human Rights Society Surveys play a vital role. We are dedicated to raising awareness about pressing socio-humanitarian issues, including domestic violence, child abuse, alcoholism, women’s empowerment, and human trafficking. Through awareness campaigns, seminars, and processions, we aim to be strong advocates for change. Our programs are guided by our commitment to the 3Es: **Edify, Equip, and Enable**. We believe that visual storytelling is a powerful tool in achieving these goals. With sincerity, passion, and compassion, we strive to create a safer, more equitable world for women and children. Join us in our mission to make a difference! 💪 #HumanRights #WomenEmpowerment #ChildProtection #AIMS #ICES2024

Introducing JUSWOMEN: Empowering Women with Justice We are excited to announce the launch of JUSWOMEN, an NGO dedicated to the legal literacy of underprivileged women. The name "JUSWOMEN" combines "Jus," derived from the Latin word "justitia" meaning justice, with "Woman," emphasizing our commitment to addressing legal issues and empowerment within the context of women's rights. Lavanya Narayan the founder, along with SHRUTIKA MISHRA, the co-founder, we are proud to launch JUSWOMEN. Our NGO is committed to empowering women through comprehensive legal literacy programs, which include workshops, legal aid clinics, and women's support groups. Our vision is to create a community where women are informed and equipped with the skills to lead their lives with confidence and autonomy.

It enables them to participate fully in society, fostering equality and justice. At JUSWOMEN, we strive to dismantle patriarchal norms that bind women to oppressive traditions, fostering an environment where justice and equality prevail. If you share this passion and commitment, we invite you to join our mission by filling out the Google form linked below.

I don't think we fully understand the gravity of this issue. Whenever we talk about respecting women's rights and protecting them and children from gender-based violence (GBV), there's often a tendency to justify this by linking women to certain roles—mothers, sisters, wives. It’s as if a woman's value is only acknowledged when she’s connected to these roles. But think about it: when a mother gives birth to a female infant, no one focuses on what that child will become—a mother, a sister, an aunt. People simply say, "Thank God you gave birth to a healthy baby." The baby's worth isn’t tied to any future role; it’s inherent. So why do we, as a society, feel that a woman must fulfill a specific role to deserve basic respect and the right to simply exist? Women are human beings, just like men. But if you have really noticed, a woman often has to go the extra mile to earn the respect she deserves. She has to be pregnant, a mother, or visibly struggling in some way to gain empathy. Why is that? Why do women have to prove their worth by enduring hardships before they're treated as humans? I've even come across posts and comments here on LinkedIn that seem empathetic on the surface but carry hidden misogyny. This is deeply saddening, and I hope it's something we can change in the near future. #WomenAreHumans #EndGBV #Childrenrights #HumanRights
