1 in 3 women experience physical or sexual violenc

1 in 3 women experience physical or sexual violence in their lifetime, most frequently by an intimate partner. As #covid19 lockdowns began, reports of all forms of violence against women and girls, particularly domestic violence, began to rise around the world.

Violence against women and girls is one of the most widespread, persistent and devastating human rights violations in our world today. It remains largely unreported due to the impunity, silence, stigma and shame surrounding it. The consequences can be lifelong, restricting women’s access to education and the labour market.

The pandemic of violence against women is not new, but it’s not inevitable, unless we stay quiet.

We stand with survivors of domestic violence. We hear you. We believe you.

Saudi Arabia’s first ever women’s football lea

Saudi Arabia’s first ever women’s football league began on Tuesday evening, with more than 600 players in 24 teams competing for the championship cup.

The Women’s Football League has been lauded as an important step for women’s participation in sport.

“This is a very happy day for all athletes, be they male or female,” said Abdullah Alyami, a Saudi football coach and sports journalist. “Based on what we’ve seen, and how beloved the sport of football is all over the Kingdom, I believe we will see many more of our sisters getting involved in professional sports.”

For many years, the authorities cited cultural norms and religious teachings in denying women’s sports. It was only in 2018 that women were first allowed to watch football matches in stadiums in the kingdom.

Mumbai is the first Indian city to take into accou

Mumbai is the first Indian city to take into account women’s needs in its urban planning.

According to a 2019 study, Mumbai is among the least inclusive and equitable cities in the world. Women activists have been campaigning to change this since 2013, demanding gender inclusion in the planning infrastructure. The city’s governing body has now added a “Gender, Special Groups and Social Equity” chapter to the urban development plan approved by the government in 2018.

“Our priority is to make Mumbai friendly and safe for women,” said Sangita Hasnale, the assistant municipal commissioner in planning. “Although the pandemic has slowed down a bit of the planning, it has also exposed how vulnerable women can be in the city after we saw many housewives and housemaids thrown out of their homes with nowhere to go.”

The revised urban plan aims to support women in the workforce, as well as addressing inclusion aspects in housing, education, transport, healthcare and safety in the overall infrastructure of the city.
