International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women

November 25th, marks the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women. Falling on the same date each year, it signals the start of the 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence. Uniting people and organisations worldwide to face the truth about violence against women and girls, it’s a time for collective action and global conversations about gender equality and women’s safety. 

Picture diverse communities, each marking this day in their unique yet united ways – from candle-lit vigils to empowering workshops. It’s a day that transforms empathy into action. Each voice contributes to a chorus demanding change for a world where every woman and girl lives free from fear and violence. Today is also a celebration of the indomitable strength of survivors. And a promise to bring about a future where violence against women is relegated to the history books.
