Teach the next generation and learn from them
• Talk about consent, bodily
autonomy and accountability
to boys and girls, and also
listen to what they have to say
about their experience of the
world. By empowering young
advocates with information,
and educating them about
women’s rights, we can build
a better future for all.

Call for responses and services fit for purpose

13. 3. Call for responses and services fit for purpose
• Calling on governments
– to bridge funding gaps to address violence against women
and girls,
– ensure essential services for survivors of violence are
maintained during this crisis,
– implement prevention measures, and
– invest in collecting the data necessary to adapt and improve
life-saving services for women and girls.

14. • Phrases like “she was asking for it” or “boys will be boys”
attempt to blur the lines around sexual consent, placing
blame on victims, and excusing perpetrators from the
crimes they have committed.

Understand consent

Understand consent
• If your partner agrees but
seems worried or unsure, they
are not consenting.
• “No,” or “I don’t know,” and
silence are not consent.
• You can’t give consent if you’re
unconscious or in an altered
mental state such as being
drunk or high.

16. 0

Understand consent
• Consent must be given without pressure.
• It’s not okay to trick, coerce or threaten someone into saying yes.
• Child marriage is a non-consensual act.
• You can consent to kissing or touching one day and not the next.

17. • If you’re concerned about a
friend who may be experiencing
violence or feels unsafe around
someone, review the signs and
learn about the ways to help
them find safety and support.

Learn the signs of abuse and how you can help

18. 1. Be supportive and believe them.
2. Help them think through how to stay safe during COVID-19
3. Respect their right to consent. Unless you strongly believe that
your friend’s life is in danger, avoid taking actions without their
consent.
4. Respect their privacy. Because of safety issues, stigma, feelings
of shame, and victim-blaming that survivors often face, it is
critical that their experiences and identity remain confidential,
5. Offer practical assistance and share resources

19. • Violence against women and girls is
a human rights violation that’s been
perpetuated for decades.
• It’s pervasive, but it’s not inevitable,
unless we stay silent.
• Show your solidarity with survivors
and where you stand in the fight for
women’s rights

22. 07 Stand against rape culture
• Rape culture is the
social environment that
allows sexual violence
to be normalized and
justified,
• Naming it is the first
step to dismantling rape
culture.
• Speak out against the
root causes.
• Stop victim-blaming.
“She was drunk.”
“Women say “no” when they mean “yes.”

"If I could have
one wish
granted, it might
well be
a
total end to rape”

24. UN Women team
– $15 can buy a dignity kit for a woman or girl who has lost everything:
containing period products, underwear, toothbrush, soap, and flashlight.
– $25 can provide cash to a woman to help rebuild her business after the
disaster.
– $50 can help survivors of sexual violence access counselling.
08 Fund women’s organizations

25. • Take a stand by calling it out
when you see it:
– Cat calling, inappropriate sexual
comments and sexist jokes are
never okay.
• Challenge your peers to reflect
on their own behaviour
• Speak up when someone
crosses the line
09 Hold each other accountable

26. • Relevant data collection is key to implementing successful
prevention measures and providing survivors with the right
support.
• As gender-based violence has spiked during COVID-19,
the gaps in gender sensitive data collection have become
more glaring than ever.

29. Adverse Sex Ratio
The shortage of women has led
to a sharp rise in violence
against them. Likely increase in
crimes like trafficking and forced
marriages. This will lead to a
situation where, apart from the
ingrained son preference, people
don't want girls all the more as
they feel that it is difficult to keep
them safe
