#16Days #OrangeTheWorld
...

1. Learn commonly used terms that any gender equality activist should have in their vocabulary toolkit. unwo.men/9OjN30rkVLB
For #16Days and beyond! #OrangeTheWorld @UN_Women @16DaysCampaign

2. Let’s flip the narrative that places blame on victims and use the power of language in service of survivors, not perpetrators.
And call out journals, publications, reports, etc. doing otherwise.

3. Stop using language that blames victims, objectifies women and normalizes sexual harassment.

6. Every time you hear a survivor’s story: 1-Listen. 2-Believe. 3-Support.
Every time a woman speaks up about her experience of sexual violence and she’s not believed, the cycle of abuse continues.

7. Don’t be a bystander. Speak up, intervene and/or show you stand w/ survivors during the #16Days & every day.
BUT, do it safely…
