To End GBV, we must allow for conversations, however uncomfortable they may be! Otherwise we leave out those that need to be transformed!
Hence our running project, the Men Against Violence Initiative.
Thanks @YouthRISE for support!

The war on drugs has failed. Communities suffer while unjust laws criminalize, stigmatize & silence.
We choose dignity.
#DrugPolicyReform
Every day, is Women's Day. Still, we must remind ourselves of how far we have come and the limitless potential we carry to effect positive change for humankind!

🧵International Overdose Awareness Day (#IOAD) is a solemn reminder of the overwhelming amount of people we have lost to overdose, & one life lost is one too many. Today & every day, we honor all those no longer with us & hold our grieving communities in our hearts.

Below this in smaller white font, copy reads, "One life lost to overdose is one too many." At left is black-and-white maze-like pattern, NHRC logo at bottom right.
ALT Over black background, copy reads, "Today is International Overdose Awareness Day, a day to memorialize all those we have lost and hold our grieving communities in our hearts while fiercely advocating for — and celebrating — needed change to prevent overdose and support the empowerment of people who use drugs. We vow to continue building a world where people who use drugs are treated with the respect and dignity they deserve, and have the resources and radical love needed to survive and thrive — today and every day."

On this #InternationalWomensDay we bring you five reasons why harm reduction must be sensitive to the needs of young women who use drugs 🗣 #everydayiswomensday #crashthepatriarchy #harmreduction #narcofeminism #womendodrugsdealwiththat
Women In Response to HIV/AIDS & Drug Addiction retweeted
Gender inequality and patriarchy are a threat to everyone.
Progress on gender equality has never been automatic. It has never been given—it has always been won.
Ending AIDS requires that we take on the inequalities that drive vulnerabilities.
