The Network: Advocating Against Domestic Violence’s Post

Do we really know...⁉️ ...what is going on in plain sight, behind closed doors, and in our very own metaphorical 'backyard'. In my lived experience, NO WE DON'T 💥 These statistics are godsmacking, and #DV Ghosting and turning a blindeye to it is no longer viable at work, at home and at play 😑  Mainstream media headlines the historically quoted norm of 1️⃣ in 4️⃣ women will have been sexually assaulted - That's 2️⃣5️⃣% of the gorgeous goddesses who you work with, will have experienced sexual assault in their lifetime ...and the unacceptable increased risks to their mental health and emotional well-being are astronomic 😢  But seriously what the heck - just take a look at the WPR's latest data, and what is happening today in our very own backyards. ...in the States with the highest rates of violence against women: https://lnkd.in/ed5beKMG ▫️Kentucky: 45.3 ▫️Nevada: 43.8 ▫️Alaska: 43.3 ▫️Arizona: 42.6 ▫️Indiana: 42.5 ▫️South Carolina: 42.3 ...and in the Swings 😳 ▫️Arizona: 42.6 ▫️Georgia: 37.4 ▫️Michigan: 36.1 ▫️Nevada: 43.8 ▫️North Carolina: 35.2 ▫️Pennsylvania: 37.1 ▫️Wisconsin: 36.3 Shocked? ...absolutely 💥 Folks, it's happening in the safety of our very own inner sanctuaries 🏡 ...it's all pervasive, and it is impacting your Lovelies' lives. YOUR lives. And IT WILL escalate further if the economy 'bites' in 2025 💯 So much so, the State-level Attorney General's are pressing the hot hot hots 🚨 in full knowledge there's a ticking timebomb 💣 ready to explode - Knowing it will boost further with the surge in authorative manosphere cultures, the erosion of #WomensRights, and linked financial pressures. It's something to seriously think on if you're looking to vote in 🇺🇸 ...and Chaps, it truly is time to look out for the lovelies in your world 👊 #DomesticViolence #DomesticViolenceAwareness #EndGBV #CaringForWomen #ShowUpForWomen #Allyship

READ: PCW’s Statement of Support to the Department of the Interior and Local Government's Commitment to End All Forms of Violence Against Women and Girls The Philippine Commission on Women (PCW) supports the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG), led by Secretary Benjamin "Benhur" C. Abalos, Jr., in its unwavering commitment to eradicating all forms of violence against women and girls including rape, child abuse, and trafficking in persons. Violence Against Women (VAW) is a pervasive problem that has far-reaching consequences for the victim-survivors, families, and communities. Time and again, we reiterated that it is a heinous violation of human rights, a blatant disregard for women and girls’ dignity, and an obstacle to achieving gender equality and women's empowerment. We also emphasize the crucial role of law enforcement agencies, including those under the helm of the DILG like the Philippine National Police, in protecting women and girls from violence and abuse. They are the first line of defense in preventing and responding to these crimes. They are tasked to investigate reports of violence, apprehend perpetrators, and ensure that victims receive the necessary support, being key movers in the fight against VAW. Everyone, we owe it to our women and girls to ensure that both people and systems work effectively to address VAWC cases and bring perpetrators to justice. Months before the observance of the 2024 18-Day Campaign to End Violence Against Women, the PCW also calls on all stakeholders, including government agencies, legislators, civil society organizations, and the private sector, to join forces in the fight against VAWC. Tayo ay maging kakampi, hindi kalaban, ng mga biktima ng at lumalaban sa karahasan.
