16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence | Day 9

📅 Today is Day 9 of the ‘16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence’.

UN­ Women have put together a list of 10 simple steps we can all make a difference, safely and impactfully.

Step 7 : Stand up against rape culture

You can do this every day by making conscious choices about the language you use and choosing to intervene, even online.

🗣️ ‘Just because it isn’t you who said it, doesn’t mean it’s not your responsibility to help stop it’.

We encourage you to join the CAWLS team at annual events, targeted at confronting Rape Culture, such as ‘Reclaim the Night’ where possible.

✊ Let’s stand together and stand up against rape culture.
