Day 9 of 16 Days of Activism: Honoring World Disability Day

Today, we stand in solidarity with survivors and victims of gender-based violence (GBV) who also live with disabilities. We highlight the critical intersection of disability and GBV, where systemic barriers and societal stigmas often exacerbate vulnerabilities.

Did you know that 70% of people with disabilities experience some form of abuse? Even more alarming, they are three times more likely to face sexual assault than those without disabilities. These statistics are a stark reminder of the urgent need to address the unique challenges faced by differently-abled individuals.

Our advocacy today focuses on:
• Amplifying the voices of survivors with disabilities.
• Fighting for inclusive support systems and resources.
• Challenging the stigma and systemic discrimination that perpetuate these injustices.

Let’s work together to create a world where no one’s safety, dignity, or autonomy is compromised. Together, we can break the cycle of violence and build a future rooted in equality and justice.

The 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence, observed from November 25 to December 10, focuses on raising awareness and advocating for change.

On day two, we are advocating against adolescent and teen dating violence. There are no excuses. We shouldn’t be deliberating rights of women and girls in 2024! But here we are - still!

We say NO to any form of gendered based violence against adolescent girls.

That’s why BBRIDGE is working on manualized interventions for couples, fostering understanding, accountability, and healthier relationship dynamics. By helping perpetrators who are willing to break the cycle and learn new behaviors, we aim to create lasting change for families and communities.

Breaking the cycle means transforming not just individuals, but entire systems of harm into systems of healing.

Oge has a book which hopes to be a manulized intervention for Black couples, it teaches intentional and healthy communication and hold couples accountable for the actions they take to protect and respect each other - intentionally.

The deal as Bbridge is to preach healthy, safer, Black Love for the benefit of our people, our children, and our community.
