It takes real systemic change and sustained investment.
Support the services that make safety possible.

School is in session!
The #EUDirectiveonViolenceAgainstWomen and Domestic Violence is a milestone for survivor rights across the EU. Minimum standards. Stronger protections. Now we need full implementation.
#16DaysOfActivism #WAVE16Days #WAVEofChange
The #IstanbulConvention is Europe’s strongest framework to prevent and combat violence against women. It sets standards for prevention, protection, prosecution, and specialist services, but implementation still varies widely.

Trump’s presidency is in part a response to the year 2020, both the protest and the pandemic. There was a naivete that riots had resulted in a cultural revolution, but what we see now is how the changes of that moment were fleeting. This is why movement gains must go beyond individual benefits under capitalism, like diversity initiatives, which have come and gone since the protests. There needs to be an understanding when these spontaneous uprisings happen that the sense of power people feel will not last forever.
It wasn't fleeting. We mustn't despair after each movement seems to end. Zoom out and look at how things have been since Occupy in 2008. There's a larger #WaveOfChange These movements are part of it.
How do you break a piece of metal? You bend it back and forth...
