16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence

2020-12-04T09:06:12+01:00

In 2020, COVID-19 touched our lives in nearly every way, everywhere, as countries went into lockdown and restricted movement to contain the spread of the virus. As doors closed and isolation began, reports of all forms of violence against women and girls, particularly domestic violence, began to rise. The pandemic of violence against women is not new. Even before COVID-19 hit us, globally, 243 million women and girls were abused by their intimate partners in 2019. The COVID-19 pandemic intensified the violence, even as support services faltered and accessing help became harder. As we mark the annual 16 Days of Activism [...]

A CALL FOR DRASTIC PARTNERSHIP

2020-07-08T14:10:58+01:00

We have the opportunity to imagine, propose, and realize new illustrations for how society functions. We will figure it out together.

The answers for how we get through this will not come from any one place. We need radical collaboration that transcends traditional models of partnership.   We need to work with community groups to develop new ways of understanding people’s needs—both the obvious (economic stability) and the less obvious (social isolation). We need to listen to [...]

HOPE IN THE TIME OF CRISIS

2020-07-08T10:11:43+01:00

  People are losing their jobs and worrying about how they’ll pay rent. Isolated elderly people are suffering from debilitating anxiety and loneliness. Populations that were already vulnerable—those who are  homeless, undocumented, uninsured, working class, in abusive relations, with pre-existing conditions—are rightly terrified about their survival. Families in Nigeria are attending the funerals of their loved ones by livestream. And none of us have a true sense of how long this will last. So we brace ourselves, exhausted, trying to gather strength and fight. At the same time, we’re seeing an incredible outpouring of creativity and generosity. There’s been a mushrooming [...]
