Care is more than a single activity. It is a continuous process of engagement within yourself, your communities/ groups and in your movements. Self and collective care are linked so closely that one aspect of care is strengthened by the other. Self care cannot happen without collective care.

Be kind to yourself. It is important to take care of yourself (full stop). You are deserving of rest, care and healing. Taking care of yourself also allows you to help sustain the communities and people around you, as well as the work you do to make the world safer and more just for everyone.

Did you know that every year, about 4 million girls are subjected to female genital mutilation (FGM), with over 2 million occurring before the age of five? We all need to take a stance of “Zero tolerance!” today and everyday to end FGM everywhere. #EndFGM #ZeroTolerance #EndVAWG #PreventVAWG

Aside from knowing what collective care means, do you know how to facilitate it / make it happen in your groups, communities, workplaces, movements etc? One way that we recommend is art. Art (such as dancing, mural painting etc) bridges a lot of barriers and allows us to dream.

Online violence against women and girls makes it harder to access tools for education, socialization, entertainment, information sharing etc for many women and girls. This further deepens real-world inequality.

Welcome February. At GBV Prevention Network, we aim to strengthen the ecosystem for activist-led, feminist informed, effective VAW prevention. Our engagements with members and decision makers help build a shared analysis on VAW across funding, policy, and programming spaces.

We believe that the experiences, voices, and leadership of women and girls should be centered in work to end violence against women. See more on our website: preventgbvafrica.org/about/our-st... #GirlsLeadChange #WomenLeadership #EndVAWG #PreventVAWG

We believe that violence against both women & men is unacceptable. We also recognize that women and girls are disproportionately affected by violence based on the lower status that society ascribes to them. The use of VAW allows us to stay focused & committed to addressing this most pressing issue.

Repost from #Survivors.org It can be hard to watch someone we care about endure something as difficult and violating as stalking. We can feel powerless sitting by watching this happen, but there are a few ways we can help support our loved ones.

“Girls mature faster than boys” is an example of a gendered social norm that helps to perpetuate violence in our communities.

Feminists, practitioners, activists, emergency support workers, organizers, researchers and community mobilizers all over the world worked hard and saw many brilliant successes for the movement to end all violence against women and girls.
