Today, we stand together to say NO to violence against women.💜
Violence against women and girls is a global issue that affects millions of lives. It comes in many forms—physical, emotional, psychological, and economic—and can have lasting, devastating impacts.
We all have a role to play in creating a world where women and girls can live free from fear and violence. Here are a few ways you can help:

2) Support Survivors: Listen, believe, and support women who have experienced violence.
3) Advocate for Change: Join campaigns, support organizations that fight violence against women, and advocate for stronger laws and protections.
4) Challenge Misogyny: Stand up against sexist behavior and language in your community, workplace, and social circles.
Together, we can create a safer, more just world for women and girls. Let’s be the change we wish to see. 💪

2. Online Safety: Monitor your child's online activities and educate them about the importance of privacy and the dangers of sharing personal information.
3. Stranger Danger: Reinforce the concept of "stranger danger" and ensure your children know who they can trust.
4. Emergency Contacts: Make sure your children know how to contact you and other trusted adults in case of an emergency.
5. Safe Play Areas: Ensure that your home and any play areas are safe and free from hazards.
