2. Men are important partners in combating gender-based violence #PeaceTuesday

3.Provision and participation of adults & youths in challenging the norms and practices that put people at risk of violence #PeaceTuesday

4. Get the community educated and organized by boosting community support network with technology. #PeaceTuesday

5. Be a resource by helping her find the assistance she needs, whether it is legal information, local domestic violence programmes..........

It could also be by finding a safe place through a battered women’s shelter. #PeaceTuesday

The greatest danger women face in these situations is often the actual process of leaving, so finding a safe place may be key. #PeaceTuesday

Therefore contributing to an environment where violence is not acceptable is the real test of doing no harm and YOU & I can achieve this.
