A new month is here, and with it comes a gentle reminder to slow down and care for your mind. Give yourself permission to start fresh, breathe deeply, let go of what drains you, and choose what brings you peace.

This month, may your mind be lighter, your heart be calmer, and your days be kinder.

If you need a sign to reset, this is it.
Happy new month!

As we unite to end digital violence against women and children, let's identify what these abused might look like...

Digital violence is real. And every day, women and girls are targeted through their phones, social media, and online spaces.

This year’s 16 Days of Activism calls us to UNiTE to End Digital Violence against All Women and Girls because safety should not end at the door; it must follow every woman online too.

Harassment, threats, stalking, and non-consensual sharing of private images are not “online drama” as we often label them. They are forms of violence.

Today, we speak up.
We stand together.
We protect every woman’s right to feel safe: online and offline.

UNiTE. Speak up. End digital violence.

The words on this flyer are a reminder we cannot just ignore: “What begins online does not stay online.”

Digital abuse does not end on the screen. It follows women and girls into their daily lives, affecting how they think, feel, interact, and even show up in the world.

At Mental Health for Youth Initiative, we see every day how gender-based violence, whether offline or online, leaves deep emotional wounds. It creates fear, anxiety, withdrawal, shame, and in many cases, long-term trauma.

When a woman’s voice is silenced online or offline, her mental well-being is threatened in real life.

This is why we are adding our voice to the global call during the 16 Days of Activism:

📢 End gender-based violence in all its forms.
📢 End the harassment.
📢 End the digital threats.
📢 End the culture that normalizes harm.

Every woman and girl deserves safety on the internet and in the real world.
And every survivor deserves support, healing, and a community that stands with them.

Let’s keep speaking up. Let’s keep protecting women.
Violence anywhere affects mental health everywhere.

Today marks the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, and it also opens the door to the 16 Days of Activism: a global call to speak up, stand up, and take action against all forms of violence women face.

This is a reminder that violence does not start with physical harm alone. It begins with harmful words, controlling behaviour, digital abuse, silence, and a culture that excuses it.

For the next 16 days and beyond, let us commit to creating safer homes, safer communities, and safer online spaces for every woman and girl.

Your voice, your support, and your actions can help end the cycle.

Violence against women is never acceptable, not today, not ever.

Let's protect our women and girls. Let's protect their mental health too.

As the global call begins today, we join the global movement for the 16 Days of Activism to end all forms of digital violence against women and girls.

Online spaces should never be places of fear. Every woman deserves to express herself without harassment, threats, or shame.

If you ever face digital violence as a woman/girl, here are simple steps that can protect you:

📌 Document everything: take screenshots and save messages as evidence.

📌 Report and block the abuser on all platforms immediately.

📌 Strengthen your digital security: update passwords, enable two-factor authentication, and review your privacy settings.

📌 Tell someone you trust so you are not going through it alone.

📌 Seek legal or professional support when the harassment becomes threatening or persistent.

📌 Do not go silent. Speak up immediately.

Your safety matters, both offline and online.
Let us build safer digital spaces for all women and girls.

At Mental Health For Youth Initiative (MHYI), we frown at all forms of violence against women and girls.

Sometimes, the smallest words we speak to ourselves can make the biggest difference in our mental health.

Life gets overwhelming, and it’s easy to forget that we also deserve care, patience, and compassion. That is why self-care affirmations are so powerful, they gently remind us to slow down, breathe, and treat ourselves with kindness.

Simple lines like “I choose peace every day” or “I deserve rest” act like small check-ins with your mind. They pull you back to the present, helping you manage stress, reduce anxiety, and stay mentally grounded.

When you acknowledge your feelings, give yourself grace, or protect your mental space, you are not just saying words, you are strengthening your emotional resilience.

Affirmations will not solve everything, but they make your journey easier. They help you build a healthier mindset, one gentle reminder at a time. And truthfully, we all need that reminder: you matter, your mind matters, and your well-being deserves your attention.

The progress at Kalmajiji IDP Camp has been truly encouraging.

After the 3-day Clean Camp Heroes training which is part of the Clean Camp Heroes Project funded by the Eu under the Youth Empowerment Fund through the led by the Mental Health For Youth Initiative (MHYI) , the community didn’t just listen, they acted. They agreed to carry out a camp-wide clean-up every two Saturdays, making cleanliness a shared responsibility, not just an activity. Special thanks to all our amazing partners for being a part of this progress work with us

And this action goes beyond sweeping and sanitation.
A clean environment reduces stress, supports healthier living, and gives people, especially those in displaced communities a sense of dignity and control.

When a space is clean, the mind feels lighter. When the environment is organized, hope grows. These are small but powerful wins for mental health.

Seeing the residents youths commit to this routine shows what youths leadership looks like: learning something new, owning it, and turning it into a lifestyle that births significant change and development.

Clean camps. Healthy minds.
One step at a time, Kalmajiji is choosing health, dignity, and mental wellbeing.

Dear woman,

Taking care of your mind as a woman is not a luxury. It is something you deserve every day.

Small habits like eating what nourishes you, practicing gratitude, talking to people who lift you and refusing comparison can make a real difference in how you feel.

Women carry so much, often at the same time. Your mental health matters. Your peace matters. Your rest matters.

Choose one small act of self care today. Your mind will thank you for it.

❤️
