I was not feeling the celebrations of International
Women’s day at all this year when there is such a high level of violence against Women locally and globally.
Domestic violence, death of woman by their partners and former partners. Death of their children by their Fathers.
Femicide. Rape of women, young women and baby girls. Often by people known to them.
Gendered violence.
Trafficking of women and children.
We must continue to fight for Women and children!
If you notice a change in a young woman, young girl in your care.
Do your best to have them feel safe with you - to share and let them know you will believe them ABSOLUTELY and stand by them always!
Then ask the tough questions about sexual violation. Please reach for support yourself so that you are supported through it too.
So many women, young women and baby girls are living with this silently.
We must continue to fight for our Women and children.
