“TISEMA" (meaning Let her be heard) is an Ethiopian public advocacy campaign calling for violence against women and girls in Ethiopia to be recognized and responded to as a national crisis. It began as a call for justice and accountability following the killings of individual women whose names entered public conversation. Today, it stands as a prominent public demand to recognize these deaths as a broader pattern of violence and miscarriage of justice, urging the government to deliver on commitments it has already made in various policy and strategy documents. We believe this form of declaration is the only way to break the cycle of injustice, public outrage often followed by silence from all those meant to protect the rights of Ethiopian Women and Girls. Thus far, the petition has been able to collect over 40,000 signatures in just three days. Sign the petition ✍🏾 Help us get to a million!” —addis.powerhouse https://c.org/N2JKLxLvPv
