📊 Men are 2.7x more likely to be violent if they saw their mothers abused. #GBV undermines women’s health, education, & livelihoods.

In East #Darfur, @CARE_Sudan's coffee sessions are lifelines.
Hanan, 23, reflects on their impact, “We openly addressed the challenges we face, like GBV & early marriage. It was enlightening & gave us hope for solutions.” These sessions are creating change for #women & #girls.

Every woman and girl deserves to live free from violence, harassment, and abuse. Yet, 1 in 3 women worldwide face this harsh reality.
This #16Days of Activism, let's unite to end gender-based violence and create a world where women can live safely and without fear. #EndGBV

Last week, I was honoured to collaborate with colleagues at the Regional Leadership Team Workshop on our shared vision for CARE’s Strategy FY25-FY30. We aim to push more boundaries & ensure impactful, sustainable change for women & girls in East & Central Africa. #CAREAlwaysThere

As we mark #InternationalDayofRuralWomen, CARE shines a light on the urgent plight of rural women in #Sudan. 18 months of conflict have devastated lives & livelihoods, with women and girls bearing the brunt of this ongoing crisis. The support they need is more urgent than ever.
This International Day of the #GirlChild, I celebrate the incredible potential of every #girl! Together with our partners, we seek to empower girls through education, leadership training, & economic opportunities, ensuring they can lead their communities toward a brighter future.
Women are more exposed to violence in crises. Despite the risks, women humanitarian leaders like Ebtesam, from @CARE_Sudan, work tirelessly to aid communities rebuild their lives. They pave the way for an equitable future for women in crisis. #UNGA2024

Despite women and girls bearing the brunt of crises like conflict and climate change in #Sudan and beyond, less than 10% of leaders speaking at #UNGA79 are women. It's time to amplify their voices and fund women-led organizations working on the frontlines.

'Engaging more women in humanitarian responses is vital.'
This message from African women leaders is a call to action during #WorldHumanitarianDay2024. Their insights are crucial for addressing the needs of women & girls in emergencies. Let’s amplify & support their voices.
