🌍 Caring for lands and waters sustains collective rights and community wellbeing. 🌱 Indigenous women who defend them face intimidation and criminalization worldwide. ⚠️ This shows up as arrests, fabricated charges, surveillance, travel bans, and endless legal harassment. #365toEndGBV #WHRD

🟢🌐 The internet is a political space where social norms shaped by patriarchy and heteronormativity are reproduced and challenged. GBV extends into digital environments, which also support feminist organizing and collective action. #FeministTechThursdays #365DaysToEndGBV

🛑 Every life deserves protection. 💛 This is a basic ethical truth. Across the world, people are killed because of who they are — their gender identity, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, disability, religion, or way of being in the world. #StopDehumanization #ProtectLife

🚨 Punishment is framed as order or protection. In practice, it is used to control bodies that ❤️ love differently 👣 cross borders 🗯️ refuse silence Punishment is a tool to enforce obedience—especially over women, racialized communities, disabled people, and LGBTQI+ people.

Privatization organizes life through profit, shaping who is protected and who is exposed to harm. UN research shows that racialized and Indigenous communities face disproportionate environmental harm. A future without violence treats natural resources as a common resource #365DaysToEndGBV #EJ

🫶 Bodily autonomy is built from childhood 🧠 Early exposure to violence has long-lasting effects on physical, mental and emotional health. 📌 According to WHO, up to 1 in 2 children worldwide experience some form of violence. ⚖️ Protecting children is a collective responsibility. #365DaysToEndGBV

Some bodies are treated as more valuable than others. That hierarchy normalizes exclusion, control, and violence. People with disabilities face higher rates of sexual and gender-based violence—driven by ableism, forced dependence, stigma, and barriers to justice. #EndGBV #CollectiveCare

GBV is rooted in power over bodies, decisions, and consequences. Contraception has long been organized as women’s responsibility, concentrating risk and control. Evidence from WHO and UNFPA links unequal reproductive responsibility to coercion and gendered harm. #ReproductiveJustice

🟢 Access is a foundation of digital justice and the prevention of gender-based violence. 🌐 Principles 1, 2, and 3 are grouped together because meaningful internet access, real possibilities of use, and critical digital literacy are deeply connected. #FeministTechThursdays

✨ Womanhood has been shaped by institutions — law, medicine, religion, and politics. 📚 Feminist and human rights frameworks show how imposed definitions restrict autonomy and enable exclusion and violence, especially against racialized, Indigenous, trans, intersex, disabled, and non-conforming women

Labeling bodies as “wrong” functions as social training. It produces self-surveillance, bodily distrust, and diminished presence (psychology + trauma research). This is how power governs bodies—through shame and control.

Violence against LGBTQI+ people is produced through exclusion. It grows when identities are treated as problems, control is framed as care, and hate is normalized. Ending violence means building belonging in families, institutions, laws, and digital spaces. #365DaysToEndGBV #EndConversionTherapy

Safety is shaped by how societies choose to protect people. Militarized security brings surveillance, harm, and mistrust to women, racialized and Indigenous communities, migrants, LGBTQI+ people, and young people. #365DaysToEndGBV #JusticeNotForce

Health should not depend on income. Social justice is the foundation of wellbeing. #365DaysToEndGBV

Commenting on other people’s bodies is an exercise of power. It turns autonomy into judgment and dignity into surveillance. Bodies carry history, care, pleasure, and meaning. They are lived experience—not material for public evaluation. #365DaysToEndGBV #BodyPolitics #EndBodyShaming

Technology reflects intention and power. How it’s used and who it serves shape its impact. Across the world, women and LGBTQI+ communities use tech to organize, share care, protect one another, and make their voices visible. #365DaysToEndGBV #FeministTechThursdays

Racism shapes the conditions of life. It determines where people live, what they breathe, what they drink—and the futures their bodies carry. #365DaysToEndGBV #EcologicalJustice #RacialJustice

Growing older deepens our presence in the world. It brings clarity, self-knowledge, and ownership of our lives. Pleasure is part of wellbeing at every age. So are beauty, desire, and self-expression. Age expands our freedom to live on our own terms. 🌺 #365DaysToEndGBV

Gender-responsive cybersecurity builds digital spaces where everyone is safe, respected, and free. Protection, privacy, and participation are shared rights. Our voices belong at every table where technology and security decisions are made. 🌐 #365DaysToEndGBV

You know your body best. Your feelings, desires, and choices are yours. Learning about our bodies—what they need, what brings joy, what feels unsafe—is an act of care and power. Agency grows when it’s practiced and protected. #365DaysToEndGBV #BodilyAutonomy

A world where progress sustains life is possible now. Communities thrive when land, people, and dignity are at the center. 🌿 Where Indigenous sovereignty is respected, this is already happening. Care for land sustains bodies, cultures, and futures rooted in it. #365DaysToEndGBV #RealDevelopment4all

A world where every child has love, food, education, respect, and real opportunities is possible now. Children deserve safety and dignity today, because they are full human beings in the present. Care creates immediate impact: more joy, safety, belonging, and room to be themselves. #365DaysToEndGBV

Queer, trans, and intersex identities are sources of resilience, community, and truth. Violence is produced by systems that police bodies and identity. #365DaysToEndGBV #ProtectTransLives #IntersexJustice #QueerRightsAreHumanRights

Assumptions erase agency and replace listening with control. Care is asking what someone needs—and respecting the answer. Asking disrupts ableism, patriarchy, and hierarchy. It challenges the idea that some people get to decide for others. It centers consent, access, and dignity.

Access to information sustains care, safety, and autonomy. When knowledge is open and culturally relevant, people make stronger decisions, stay safer online, and participate more fully in society (UNESCO, Web Foundation). #FeministTechThursdays

Colonisation is not something that “happened in the past”. It is a living structure that continues to shape the experiences, lands, and futures of Indigenous peoples today.

Intersex bodies are part of the natural spectrum of human diversity — as real, as valid, and as beautiful as all bodies are. #365DaysToEndGBV #IntersexRights #BodilyAutonomy

Femicide is a mirror showing us what inequality, impunity and silence create. In 2024, intimate partners and family members killed nearly 50,000 women and girls -- one every 10 minutes -- with the highest femicide rates in Africa, the Americas, and Oceania. (UN Women, UNODC)

We change because we are alive. Every shift in our beliefs, our boundaries, our desires, our dreams is a sign of movement. And movement is life.

Feminist Principle #1: Access to the Internet 🌐 ➡️ Access is a right. 🔒 Without internet access, entire communities are locked out of education, safety, information, jobs, public services, and political life.

Today we launch #FeministTechThursdays 💻✨ Every Thursday, we’ll unpack one of the 17 Feminist Principles of the Internet—a framework built by feminist movements worldwide and led by @apc_network, to center rights, safety, care, autonomy, and justice in digital spaces. Because tech is NOT neutral.

So many of us entered our first sexual experiences with fear, confusion, or silence because no one gave us the information we needed to feel safe, confident, and in control of our bodies. #365DaysToEndGBV #CSE

Our bodies are connected to the environment we live in. When our lands are devastated, we suffer. When water is polluted, our bodies become contaminated. When ecosystems are harmed, our community's wellbeing is at risk. #365DaysToEndGBV

Because rape doesn’t happen in a vacuum. It’s not about “bad individuals.” It’s about systems that normalize inequality, silence survivors, protect perpetrators, and teach us to expect violence as part of life. #365DaysToEndGBV #EndRapeCulture

Many times, what people call an “opinion” is actually a prejudice they never questioned. ✨ Opinions are formed through reflection, learning, and empathy. ✨ Prejudices are inherited, repeated, absorbed, and often used to justify exclusion or violence. #365DaysToEndGBV

Safety includes belonging, social inclusion, identity recognition, and emotional security. Policy and institutional approaches must move beyond survival-focused frameworks and invest in environments where people can participate fully, authentically, and without fear. #365DaysToEndGBV

We all deserve to show love without fear. To hold hands, hug, smile, and express care.well-being Everyone should feel free to show love in public, in community, in safety, in joy. Because feeling is part of being alive, and expressing love is part of being free. #365DaysToEndGBV

Abortion is one of the different personal decisions a person can make. It comes from our inner world, our values, our needs, our timing, our realities. Choosing abortion can be an act of love, of survival, of self-respect, of clarity. Because abortion is self-knowledge. #365DaysToEndGBV

Las mujeres, los jóvenes y las personas LGBTQ+ indígenas no necesitan que se les «ayude». Necesitan que se respeten sus derechos, se escuchen sus voces y se reconozca su poder. Necesitamos sistemas que finalmente escuchen, redistribuyan el poder y respeten la soberanía. #365DaysToEndGBV

There are so many voices we never get to hear, not because they are absent, but because the world refuses to make space for them. Accessibility isn’t extra. It’s care. It’s dignity. It’s justice. It’s how we build a world where everyone gets to be visible and heard. #365DaysToEndGBV

Pleasure has no age limit. Beauty has no expiration date. Bodies deserve dignity, desire, and joy at every stage of life. #365DaysToEndGBV #BodilyAutonomy

Language is dignity. Using people’s names, pronouns, and identities isn’t optional — it’s respect. Everyone deserves to feel seen in the words others use. Everyone deserves language that affirms their humanity, not language that erases it. #365DaysToEndGBV

Rape jokes aren’t harmless. They reinforce rape culture, silence survivors, and normalize violence. If we want to end GBV, we must stop excusing “jokes” that dehumanize. #365DaysToEndGBV #EndRapeCulture

Cybersecurity isn’t neutral. When women, intersex, and queer people are excluded from decision-making, policies fail to protect us. Gender-responsive cybersecurity means safety, privacy, and participation for all. #365DaysToEndGBV #DigitalRights #FeministInternet

Indigenous peoples hold a truth we all urgently need: Development isn’t about profits and industries. It’s about healthy people. Territories that breathe. Waters that flow clean. Communities that live in balance instead of extraction, and can thrive with dignity and health. #365DaysToEndGBV

No child should grow up believing there’s something “wrong” with them because a form didn’t have a box for who they are. We need systems that reflect the world we actually live in: Diverse and full of incredible children who deserve dignity, belonging, and rights. #365toEndGBV

Taking up space with our bodies is rebellion. Visibility is self-love and a human right. #365DaysToEndGBV

Accessibility isn’t about perfection. It’s about care. It’s about seeing each other. It’s about choosing to make the world softer and safer for more people. We can all help build a more accessible world. Accessibility is dignity and a shared responsibility. #365DaysToEndGBV

Pregnancy and postpartum care must be compassionate and person-centered. It’s also a key moment to identify intimate partner violence. Compassionate and respectful care saves lives. #365DaysToEndGBV

Nuestras tradiciones guardan memoria y sentido colectivo. ✨ Hablar tu lengua originaria es un derecho humano ✨ Conservar las tradiciones y ajustarlas en comunidad es parte de una cultura viva Cuando nuestras culturas viven, nuestras comunidades sanan. #365DaysToEndGBV
