Our Outrage and the need to reflect! How can we rejoice in our freedom when just yesterday, a woman-an embodiment of our nation's strength-was brutally violated and killed? #KolkataDoctor How do we really hope to end this? While strict safety measures are in order, the true solution lies in changing our deep rooted prejudices, beliefs and misogynistic mindsets. What is really required is an inner awakening. It is time that our society undergoes a spiritual overhaul which is the only way to achieve a reset of the status quo. We need to ensure that the respect we claim to have for women is more than just words-it must be reflected in our actions.

Today, on International Women's Day, we shine a light on the stories that often go unheard—the devastating toll conflicts take on women across the globe.  In her compelling op-ed, Clionadh Raleigh explores the gendered experiences of war, underscoring that while more men may die in violent conflicts, women endure repeated assaults and the enduring destruction of conflict. From the Congo to Afghanistan, women's struggles tell a story of resilience in the face of unimaginable hardships. I invite you to read and reflect on these important narratives and consider how we, as a global community, can better support women affected by conflict.

Today, as we commemorate the #International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, we reflect on the need for collective action to end gender-based violence around the globe. This year also celebrates 24 years since the creation of the Women, Peace, and Security (WPS) agenda, which focuses on women's engagement in peace & security. Despite these important milestones, women in conflict-affected areas such as Afghanistan continue to face significant barriers to engagement in peace processes and are even deprived of fundamental human rights. They face various forms of violence, often compounded by deep-rooted socio-cultural and gender-sensitive norms that restrict their rights and opportunities. As we honor this day, let us renew our commitment to breaking these barriers, amplifying women's voices, and ensuring their equal participation in shaping peace and security. True peace can only be achieved when all women are empowered to contribute, free from violence and discrimination.   #EndViolenceAgainstWomen #WomenPeaceSecurity #WPS #16DaysOfActivism
