🇸🇱 Coming together right now with those who have dedicated their lives to advocating for #ReproductiveRights. To organise like never before. To push for justice in all the corridors of power & urge our govt to pass the Safe Motherhood Act. No amendments!

We acknowledge the journey, we honor those who have come before us and in 2025, we carry unbridled hope that a safer and thriving world is possible for women and girls.✊🌻 A feminist world is possible!

I am excited to share that COFEM recently published our blog on ethical feminist research principles, as part of the 16-day activism to prevent gender-based violence. Read it here -

Ethical feminist research is a radical departure from patriarchal norms that have long dominated knowledge production. In this blog, read about organisations in South Asia leading impactful projects with survivors’ voices at the centre of their advocacy 🖇️ https://t.co/RrHY8AcYtw

Funding priorities shouldn’t be set by donors, but rather collaboratively agreed on and led by activists and women’s rights organizations who are doing the work. #InvestInPrevention #16DaysOfActivism @GBVnet @COFEM_EVAW
