On #InternationalWomensDay, we celebrate the strength, resilience, and achievements of women around the world. But we also remember the lives taken by femicide. Honouring women means more than celebration. It means action, prevention, and justice. #EndFemicide

Today marks #HumanRightsDay and the last day of the #16DaysofActivismAgainstGBV. December 10, 1948 the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was created. Yet, women & girls are still disproportionately impacted by gender-based violence and femicide; violating the right to life.

This year’s #16Days theme focuses on ending digital violence against women and girls. Online abuse is real harm and it limits safety, dignity, and participation in public life. The UNiTE campaign calls for stronger protections, safer platforms, and better support for survivors.

Women and girls face violence in #Canada at concerning rates. Indigenous women and girls have continuously faced increased rates of violence. We echo the organizations in Canada, @leafnational, @callitfemicide, @aurafreedom, in their calls for action against femicide and GBV.

During the 16 Days of Activism, we call for stronger protections for women with public profiles, real accountability for online threats, and recognition that digital violence is part of the continuum of gender based violence.

Across Europe, femicide is still undercounted and overlooked. When data is fragmented, prevention becomes impossible. Counting every woman is the first step to protecting every woman. Swipe to learn more about what we can do. #16Days

Behind every statistic is a life. Behind every femicide is a failure of protection. During the #16Days of Activism, we uplift the work of femicide observatories and the Femicide Watch Platform who make these failures visible so they cannot be ignored.

Violence against women does not stop at the doorstep. It follows women into streets, campuses, workplaces, transit systems, and every part of public life. Harassment, stalking, and gender related killings are part of a global pattern that denies women safety and dignity. Learn more below. #16Days

Older women face some of the highest rates of intimate partner violence and it’s one of the least talked-about forms of gendered harm. Age doesn’t protect people from abuse. It often makes it easier to hide. See below to learn more:

On day two of the 16 Days of Activism, we recognize that LGBTQ+ communities face disproportionate rates of gender based violence. From rising hate crimes in Canada to criminalization worldwide, this violence is systemic. We honour survivors, uplift queer and trans voices, and commit to real action.

#Femicide persists because of impunity. When justice systems fail to investigate and punish gender-based killings, they make it clear that women’s lives are treated as disposable. #HerLifeMattered
