Gender-based violence is a pervasive crisis that transcends physical harm. It manifests emotionally, digitally, and physically, affecting not just individuals but the fabric of our communities. During this 16 Days of Activism, I had the honor of coordinating the Community Market, a space where we shed light on often-overlooked aspects of GBV. What stood out is the glaring gap in awareness and the urgent need to invest in education and advocacy. Many remain unaware of the ways GBV infiltrates digital spaces, from cyberbullying to online harassment, or how emotional abuse leaves scars as deep as physical violence. Without understanding, the cycle continues unchecked. The fight to end GBV requires all of us—governments, organizations, and individuals—to commit resources, time, and compassion. Together, let’s build a world where dignity, safety, and respect are not just ideals but lived realities for everyone. #EndGBV #16DaysOfActivism

As we observe the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence (SGBV), it is imperative that we come together as stakeholders to reaffirm our commitment to creating a safe, supportive, and inclusive society for all.

Today, I had the privilege of presenting two sessions at the South East VAWG Conference. My presentation, titled “Hunting Predators,” delved into my research on Street Harassment and described how TVP tackle it under the banner of Project Vigilant. The success of Project Vigilant underscores the importance of proactive, offender-focused strategies in combating Street Harassment and enhancing public safety. I am grateful for the opportunity to share insights from my research ,and contribute to the ongoing efforts to protect women and girls from violence and harassment. #VAWG #ProjectVigilant #PublicSafety #StreetHarassment #ProactivePolicing
