#Youngwomen from Eastern Europe came together in Geneva for a regional #YWCA training with @worldywca supported by the @finnishgovernment on “Young women changing narratives around #SRHR and mental health”🙌. We are greateful for focus on #mentalhealth 🧠 and sexual and reproductive health rights👥🩸in Europe!
•
“...in Eastern Europe...young people, the poor, illiterate women, ethnic minorities, and members of migrant, mobile populations and rural population groups still face serious barriers in accessing the services and information they need to safeguard their health. Much more needs to be done to end preventable deaths and morbidity among women of reproductive age and to ensure that all individuals can exercise their basic #humanrights” ( @unfpa )

Did you know the #YWCA movement includes many girl Guides and Scouts?🙋‍♀️ In some countries many women and girls have a strong identity as «YWCA Guides». Here represented by the Norwegian association for YWCA-YMCA Guides and Scouts👩‍🌾.

Sex without consent is rape❌ In #Europe one in 20 women over 15 has been raped, and one in 10 has experienced some form of sexual violence. @amnesty has analysed rape legislation in 31 European countries. Only 8 (!!!) of the 31 have laws that define rape as sex without consent✋🏼 time is up!.
.
Description: text saying “about 15 million adolescent girls (aged 15-19) worldwide have experienced forced sex at some point in life, that is 15 million to many. Time is up for sexual violence”.

Today marks the first day of #weekwithoutviolence2019 ❌. End violence against women and girls in Europe and globally. We must continue to talk about rape, abuse and domestic violence - even though it is difficult✊💪 By talking we remove the taboo and stigma!
.
Description: woman holding her hand strong. Words: it’s time to empower young women around the world to lead the way and take action to end violence against women. It’s time to pass the baton to the future.
