The #RohingyaCrisis is proof that safety is gendered in nature. In our research paper, the #SafetyReport on 'Core Issues Affecting Safety for Girls' our Researcher Shucheesmita Simonti explores the safety concerns Rohingya women face and how this can relate to any woman fleeing conflict. #safetyfirstforgirls #SAFIGIs Photo source: CFR https://www.safetyfirstforgirls.org/2018/05/origins-of-rohingya-conflict.html

"The inequality of opportunities in politics is intertwined with a forced lack of interest pushed into the younger generations; girls are systematically not motivated to take part in the public life." #SafetyReport #safetyfirstforgirls #womeninpolitics #SAFIGIs https://www.safetyfirstforgirls.org/2018/04/lack-of-female-representation-in.html "It is crucial that the gender disparity is corrected to better reflect society; incentives for girls to get involved, fortification of the women drafting legislation and a change of general mentality are only a few possible actions which could ensure that laws affecting women are not being solely drafted by men."

"When we are born we do not know that our gender, race or ability will shape how we are viewed. We are unaware of the label we are given and the opportunities we may receive or be denied." http://www.safetyfirstforgirls.org/2018/03/stereotypes-against-marginalized-groups.html "There is a need to recognize the effect discrimination and public policy stemming from stereotypes..." #SAFIGI #SafetyForGirls #SafetyReport Photo by Ian Macharia on Unsplash

"Disabled and mentally ill women and children have also been disproportionately coerced into sterilization."  #SafetyReport #safetyfirstforgirls http://www.safetyfirstforgirls.org/2018/03/sterilization-of-marginalized-groups.html "The most notable case is Ashley the “Pillow Angel.” Ashley was born profoundly disabled. Doctors determined she would not grow developmentally past the infant stage but her body would. Ashley’s parents approved surgeries which stunted her growth so they could still pick her up and care for her since she would be confined to a bed for her life. Her parents also consented to the removal of breast buds and the removal of her uterus. Her parents sterilized her in a state where sterilization is outlawed." Photo by rawpixel.com on Unsplash
