How Covid-19 lockdown fuelled gender-based violence -- CSOs

2 min read Strict restrictions placed on women rights organisations during the COVID-19 lockdown led to an increase in sexual and gender-based violence. The Executive Director of Women’s Rights and Health Project (WRAHP), Bose Ironsi, said this at a one-day virtual civil society storytelling event that was held to mark this year’s 16 days of activism against gender-based violence (GBV). Mrs Ironsi said the campaign against sexual and gender-based violence was not considered as an essential service, hence the huge gap in women and girls-related issues during the lockdown. She said the ministry of women’s affairs and youth meant to protect the vulnerable were not also part of the COVID-19 response team.

The elephant in the room | BusinessWorld

FREEPIK When I called my web designer and friend Cons Raquel to do the design for www.iamsamfoundation.com, it was clear to her that “IAMSAM” is the conviction to scream for rights for women and children and therefore is “public.” She knew too that this was very personal. Cons asked the question, “so… what means much to you? What would be emblematic?” Straight from my heart, I said, “elephants.” The proverbial lightbulb lit and Cons said, “the elephant in the room?” Stumped, I replied, “no, ah… elephants never forget.” And she said, “Ohhh, I thought, the elephant in the room.” She went on to explain. I cut her short, “Cons, perfect… nothing by chance.” Not incidentally and I am beyond grateful the name for the movement I Am S.A.M. comes from Cons’ brilliance too.
