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. 💪
