A beige background. A text repeated 3 times reads “You are not alone” and it is written in white. The fourth and last sentence reads “You can ask for help”. In the foreground, two right hands coloured in orange are sending a message, which means “help me”. In the first part of the message, the right hand is open and the thumb bends on the palm of it. The second part of the message consists of a fist. The Signal for Help is an international single-handed gesture that can be used by an individual to alert others that they feel threatened and need help over a video call, or in-person.

Women and girls cannot be silenced.
Even a simple gesture can make a big difference in someone’s life. It is everybody’s duty to know how to listen to a cry for help.
In the EU and across the world 1 in 3 women have suffered from physical, sexual or psychological violence. And it gets even worse in times of crisis.
Ending violence against women means fulfilling basic human rights. It means urgently bringing the perpetrators to justice.
The time for justice and equality is now.
