Lauren – SydneyAs a young woman, Lauren, 17, often feels as though she is not safe or able to move through public spaces in her community and city.“I was on the train coming home from school one afternoon and there was an old man sitting near my friends and I, who was staring at us. [My friend] saw he was exposing himself and masturbating. We called the guard and he was quite helpful, but the man just got off and ran away – they couldn’t really do anything about it.”Cities are brimming with opportunities but for girls and young women, they are also rife with harassment and gender-based violence. 17 year old Lauren wants to create a safer more inclusive environment so that girls, women, minority groups and the wider community can live freely, safely and happily. “We need to change the mindset of the people who are sharing these spaces because everyone has an equal right to access public spaces,” she says.Source: www.plan.org.au/news/girls-rights/16-days-of-activism/The 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence is an annual international campaign that runs from 25 November, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, until 10 December, Human Rights Day.We often think of violence as a physical act causing physical harm. But for women and girls around the world, violence has many faces. It can be subtle and not easily recognised but still deeply damaging.The initiative seeks to galvanise individuals, communities and organisations to address gender inequalities, gender-based violence and take action to prevent violence before it starts.

Nur Nahar – BangladeshPlan International staff met with teenage girls in Balukhali camp to get a better understanding of just what it’s like to have your period in place like this.“For the first time we have our period we cannot talk to men. If a male relative comes to visit, the family tells him I am not home and I have to hide.”A lack of sanitary products isn’t the only issue faced by Rohingyan girls when they have their period – they are excluded from attending school and other activities and forbidden to leave their tents. Education is vital in breaking the poverty cycle and girls like Nur Nahar are being denied the opportunity to have a say in their futures, simply because they are a girl.Plan International has distributed 10,000 menstrual hygiene kits to girls in refugee camps, so they feel more confident and less self-conscious during their period, but the exclusion they face is a form of gender-based violence.Source: www.plan.org.au/news/girls-rights/16-days-of-activism/The 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence is an annual international campaign that runs from 25 November, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, until 10 December, Human Rights Day.We often think of violence as a physical act causing physical harm.

Today is the International Day of People with Disabilities. Nearly 2 in 5 women with disabilities have experienced intimate partner violence since the age of 15.*Seeking support can be particularly complex particularly when the perpetrator is also your carer or support person. This can also make the decision to leave a violent relationship very difficult.A specialist domestic violence service recognises and understands some of the challenges that a person with a disability who experiences domestic and family violence may face. They can provide you with support in relation to the domestic violence and assist you to link with disability support agencies and advocacy services.The 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence is an annual international campaign that runs from 25 November, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, until 10 December, Human Rights Day. We often think of violence as a physical act causing physical harm. But for women and girls around the world, violence has many faces.
