Violence against women and girls is a global pandemic that affects 1 in 3 women in their lifetime. 35% of women worldwide have experienced either physical and/or sexual intimate partner violence or non-partner sexual violence. This is unacceptable.
CHRI UK's Director, Sneh Aurora, moderated yesterday’s discussion on Ending Violence Against Women and Girls at #CHOGM2022.
“Addressing gender-based violence requires a community-based, multipronged approach and sustained engagement with multiple stakeholders,” Sneh Aurora said.
The discussion focused on how to engage men to end gender-based violence. According to Samitha Sugathimala of @MenEngage, providing spaces for the rediscovery of manhood within human right frameworks is vital. “We need to create positive masculinities,” she said.
Men and boys have a critical role to play in deconstructing harmful patriarchal practices and mindsets which foster and legitimise the view that women and girls are not equal to their male counterparts.
