Turning tables in Guinea-Bissau🇬🇼

“Every beat is a step forward. Together, we can create a future where our stories shine,” Alice says. And sis is doing just that!🙌

Born in Lisbon, rooted in Guinea-Bissau & powered by the Mandjako tribe's vibes, she is here to remind us why tempo—time—is everything

In 2023, 85,000 women & girls were intentionally killed in acts of femicide💔 according to the 'Femicides in 2023: Global Estimates of Intimate Partner/Family Member Femicides' report by @unwomen.bsky.social and @unodc.bsky.social

This year's 16 Days of Activism theme is "Every 10 minutes, a woman is killed". #NoExcuse. UNiTE to End Violence against Women’.

This is a call to action in the fight to eliminate violence against women and children not only in Africa but also globally.

Let's give a voice to the voiceless 🗣️

Doing this campaign has given me further insight on how culture, must like religion, can be twisted to oppress a selected group of people - in this case young girls👧🏾♀️

Head over to @afrifemalevoices.bsky.social for resources on how to be an ally in this fight✊🏾

Every year, 12 million girls are married before the age of 18. 💔 Child marriage violates children’s rights and has devastating consequences on their health and overall wellbeing. It’s time to put an end to this harmful practice. Join us as we raise awareness and advocate for lasting change!

🚨 Child Marriage = Domestic Violence 🚨

Child marriage isn’t just a harmful tradition; it’s a form of abuse. Girls married before 18 are at a higher risk of violence, isolation, and health issues. Education & awareness are key in preventing and ending this cycle 🔁
