Visibility alone isn’t enough. It requires safety, respect, and protection.

We need to stand up and speak out for the rights of trans and gender diverse people. Because everyone deserves to live authentically, free from discrimination and fear.

What can you do?
🏳️‍⚧️ Educate yourself and others about trans issues.
🏳️‍⚧️ Amplify trans voices and stories.
🏳️‍⚧️ Advocate for inclusive policies and protections.

Let’s fight for a world where trans and gender diverse people are supported and safe to be visible.

Water connects forests across mountains, rivers, and coastlines.

It sustains life, communities, and entire ecosystems.

Protecting forests means protecting water.
And protecting both means standing with the people who defend them. 🌿💧

Na jaren van bezuinigingen beloofde het nieuwe kabinet opnieuw te investeren in ontwikkelingssamenwerking en vrouwenrechten wereldwijd. Dat lijkt nu een loze belofte te zijn.

En dat terwijl de urgentie enorm is: internationaal ervaart één op de drie vrouwen geweld en elke 10 minuten wordt een vrouw of meisje vermoord.

Echte gelijkheid houdt niet op bij onze grenzen. Daarom zetten wij ons in voor de rechten van vrouwen en meisjes wereldwijd. Jouw stem is daarbij hard nodig.

Teken onze steunbetuiging en loop op zondag 8 maart mee met de Feminist March in Amsterdam. Samen roepen we het kabinet op om zijn belofte na te komen en te investeren in een veilige en gelijkwaardige wereld. Zie link in bio om te tekenen! 👈
