Renewed clashes, drone strikes, flight suspensions, and severe cash shortages in Tigray are deepening humanitarian suffering and threatening fragile peace, prompting urgent calls for de-escalation and civilian protection.

This #16DaysofActivism, we draw urgent attention to the structural and sustained violence confronting women and girls in Tigray and Sudan, where the collapse of protection systems and entrenched impunity continue to enable widespread harm.

Today, five years after the onset of the devastating genocidal war in Tigray, Harambee Collective calls for urgent and coordinated action to avert renewed conflict, protect civilians, ensure accountability, and rebuild the region’s shattered health system.

This International Day of the Girl Child, we turn our focus to the unseen crisis of period poverty in Tigray’s IDP camps, amplifying the urgent need for dignity, care, and support through #SheCan.

On this International Day for the Elimination of Sexual Violence in Conflict, Harambee Collective stands in solemn solidarity with survivors and reaffirms its collective commitment to ending one of the most egregious crimes and violations of human rights.

Today, on World Menstrual Hygiene Day, Harambee Collective joins the global call for a #PeriodFriendlyWorld. Menstrual health is a human right—yet millions, especially in conflict zones like Tigray and Sudan, face barriers to safe and dignified menstrual hygiene management.
