As 16 Days ends on Human Rights Day, we remember that freedom from violence, including digital violence, is a fundamental human right for all women and girls. #UNiTE #EndDigitalViolence #HumanRightsDay

On Human Rights Day, we remember all women lost to violence & commit to creating safer communities. BME women’s voices must be heard. @Panahghar continues the fight. #16DaysofActivism #WeSpeakUp #HumanRightsDay

Men pledge to end digital violence too – no sharing intimate images, no online harassment, no digital stalking. Be part of the solution online and offline. #UNiTE #EndDigitalViolence #16DaysofActivism

Men from all communities: pledge to end violence against women. BME men have a vital role in challenging harmful attitudes while respecting culture. @Panahghar supports this change. #16DaysofActivism #WeSpeakUp #MensPledge

Digital behaviour change includes stopping monitoring your partner's phone, not sharing intimate images, respecting online boundaries. Change is possible. #UNiTE #EndDigitalViolence #16DaysofActivism

Worried about your behaviour towards your partner? @Panahghar can help you change. Taking responsibility is the first step. Your family deserves safety. #16DaysofActivism #WeSpeakUp #BehaviourChange

Online misogyny targets women with sexist abuse, harassment, and threats. Digital spaces should be safe for all women, regardless of background. #UNiTE #EndDigitalViolence #16DaysofActivism

Misogyny in BME communities can hide behind 'tradition' but it's still harmful. Women deserve equality regardless of culture. @Panahghar challenges harmful attitudes respectfully. #16DaysofActivism #WeSpeakUp

Young people face digital dating abuse - controlling social media, demanding passwords, sharing intimate images. Healthy relationships include digital respect. #UNiTE #EndDigitalViolence #16DaysofActivism

Young BME people need relationship education that respects their culture while promoting equality. @Panahghar we deliver workshops in schools & communities. #16DaysofActivism #WeSpeakUp #HealthyRelationships

Digital spaces are used to normalise FGM, share harmful content, or silence survivors. We must use technology to educate and prevent, not harm. #UNiTE #EndDigitalViolence #EndFGM #16DaysofActivism

FGM causes lifelong trauma & is illegal in the UK. @Panahghar supports survivors & works to prevent FGM through community education. Protecting girls is everyone's responsibility. #16DaysofActivism #WeSpeakUp #EndFGM

Digital monitoring is often used in honour-based abuse - tracking location, monitoring communications, controlling online presence. Technology becomes a tool of oppression. #UNiTE #EndDigitalViolence #16DaysofActivism

Honour-based abuse & forced marriage are crimes, not culture. @Panahghar helps women escape these situations safely. Your life matters more than family honour. #16DaysofActivism #WeSpeakUp #ForcedMarriage

Digital sexual violence includes non-consensual sharing of intimate images, online sexual harassment, and deepfake abuse. These crimes have real impacts. #UNiTE #EndDigitalViolence #16DaysofActivism
7
Sexual violence in BME communities carries additional shame & honour concerns. Survivors fear family rejection. @Panahghar provides confidential support that understands cultural sensitivities. #16DaysofActivism #WeSpeakUp

Male victims of digital violence face unique challenges. Their experiences are often dismissed or not taken seriously online. All survivors deserve support. #UNiTE #EndDigitalViolence #16DaysofActivism

1 in 6 men experience domestic abuse. BME men face extra barriers - cultural expectations of masculinity & shame. #16DaysofActivism #WeSpeakUp

Older people face digital abuse too - scams, having their devices controlled, or being isolated from online family connections. Digital literacy protects against abuse. #UNiTE #EndDigitalViolence #16DaysofActivism

Elder abuse in BME communities is often hidden by cultural respect for elders. Financial, emotional & physical abuse by family members happens. @Panahghar supports older women too. #16DaysofActivism #WeSpeakUp
