Putting accountability into practice webinar Register: Putting Accountability into Practice Webinar

While the discourse around survivor-centered and community-led approaches is growing, the practice of accountability, especially in the face of backlash or resistance, remains complex and uneven.

As global funding shifts, political spaces shrink, scrutiny of development interventions intensifies, and the prevalence of VAWG persists, the need to uphold meaningful accountability to women and girls has never been more urgent.

“The development and adoption of a written policy on collective care, providing psychological support to staff, and promoting physical health, including reasonable working hours” are some aspects of the institutional duty of care for researchers on #VAW and #VAC.

Surviving research and survivor researchers: Breaking barriers and building support - Raising Voices

This brilliant report from @thesvri.bsky.social, @raising-voices.bsky.social and @universityofleeds.bsky.social illustrates “the lack of institutional understanding of practices of care when teaching and researching on violence”.

Fact: VAW / VAC work at all levels, including research, takes a toll, especially on those who are survivors themselves. This does not make them “immune”. It means that they need care and support in the impactful, but triggering work they do.

Hope may feel distant, and in our ideations of a just world, love may feel even more out of reach. This is an acknowledgement. You are not alone in this.

Violent conflict, tensions and threats of violence have escalated throughout the world. As activists and people on the frontlines, this means that we are often faced with fear, harm and various types of violence across multiple, often-state-sanctioned levels.

And this calls for constant innovation around violence programming to ensure that we can build a violence-free world for all.

Violence against women, while an old problem, has many manifestations in this modern day that require innovative responses that can effectively address them at the root level. Digital advances, current social norms and geopolitical armed conflict drastically impact how violence manifests.

As we start our day, we would like to share a notice:
Forge paths in unyielding terrains.
Dream futures.
Destabilize injustice.

That’s it.

#GentleReminder

Sensitization and strict institutional policies have to be implemented across industries to create safe, and more conducive working environments for all.

#SafeEverywhere
#EndVAWG
#EndDiscrimination
#EndViolence

For a lot of women and girls, safety and access impact their ability to work in many fields. Discrimination and harassment can affect their ability to earn a living in a safe environment, while pursuing their passions, talents and skills.

We join activists, organizations and people all around the world to say a happy #InternationalYouthDay2025. The immense contributions from young people on all fronts, to create a safer, more sustainable and just world for all is inspiring. May we see positive change in our here and now.

When we talk about climate justice, we must also talk about bodily autonomy.

Because the ability to make free, informed, and dignified choices about our bodies, from accessing healthcare and contraception to expressing our sexuality, is a foundation for resilience in the face of climate shocks.
