Safety isn’t a favor,it is a fundamental right. Yet for women claiming space in public, political, and digital life, violence is far too often used as a tool to intimidate, silence, and clear women out of decision-making power.

When women and girls are safe to lead, organize, and participate freely, the ripple effect transforms entire communities. Democracies become stronger, local economies grow, and peaceful societies take root.

It’s time to shift the burden away from women constantly self-protecting and demand institutional accountability from duty bearers.

Words without action will not protect rights. 🚫🗣️

Five years on from the Taliban takeover, Afghan women and girls cannot afford another five years of empty global commitments. Real support requires systemic action and sustained resource commitments.

To stand meaningfully with Afghan women, global decision-makers must prioritize:

🫵Direct, flexible funding for Afghan women-led organizations on the front lines.
🫵Legal and political recognition of gender apartheid.
🫵Meaningful, unbiased inclusion of women in all peace and diplomatic processes.

“We want to be recognized as women. We want to be women. That is what we are.” ✊✨

As our week celebrations continue, we are moving from Zimbabwe to Kenya to amplify the vital voice of Lucy Nkatha, a 48-year-old activist from Meru County.

As a dedicated member of Women Challenged to Challenge Kenya , Lucy is on a mission to shift how society views women and girls with disabilities. True inclusion means acknowledging that an entire community shouldn’t be defined by an individual’s mistakes, while the good work they do daily goes unnoticed.

Lucy’s vision is clear and bold: she wants to see women and girls with disabilities aggressively chasing down opportunities, because waiting for them to arrive isn’t an option.
