“In Northern Africa and Western Asia, women spend over four times as many hours as men” doing unpaid domestic and care work.
The work that women do in homes, families, workplaces and in our communities stems from unfair division of labour and it often goes unvalued, unpaid and used as an excuse -

All human rights are indivisible. They all have equal status, and denying one right affects people’s ability to enjoy the other rights. This means that everyone, including women and girls, have a right to enjoy their full human rights.

Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is a valuable tool for protecting yourself and the world from HIV. PrEP helps reduce the risk of getting HIV and is a key part of a comprehensive strategy to combat its spread. Protect yourself today and take control of your health with #PrEP.

“Girls mature faster than boys” is an example of a gendered social norm that helps to perpetuate violence in our communities. The fact is that girls are often expected to take on roles & responsibilities like cooking, cleaning, etc at a young age while boys are allowed to play and grow as children.

In our activism, it is important for us to center the leadership, experiences and thoughts of the people who are facing the violence / injustice. This is important to help create sustainable, safe and violence-free communities that work effectively and fairly for everyone.
