INTERNATIONAL DAY FOR THE ELIMINATION OF VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN AND GIRLS.
#NOEXCUSE
THEME: UNiTE to End Violence Against Women and Girls
Violence against Women and Girls is a grave violation of human rights and a critical barrier to achieving gender equality and social development. It takes many forms, including physical, sexual, emotional, and economic abuse, and its impacts are far-reaching, affecting individuals, families, and entire communities.
Gender-based violence (GBV) is one of the most pervasive human rights violations in the world, cutting across cultures, communities, and socioeconomic boundaries. Saying "no" to GBV is not just a call to reject violence—it is a commitment to building a safer, more equal, and inclusive world.
Key Facts and Challenges:
Prevalence:
? Globally, 1 in 3 women experience physical or sexual violence in their lifetime.
? Children, particularly girls, are often subjected to exploitation, child marriage, and abuse within and outside their homes.
Impacts:
? Physical and Mental Health: Victims suffer injuries, trauma, depression, and anxiety.
? Economic Consequences: Survivors may face job loss, financial dependency, or barriers to education.
? Intergenerational Effects: Children exposed to violence are more likely to become victims or perpetrators in the future.
Root Causes:
? Gender Inequality: Deep-rooted patriarchal norms perpetuate discrimination and power imbalances.
? Cultural Norms: In some societies, violence against women and children is normalized or ignored.
? Lack of Resources: Limited access to education, healthcare, and legal systems exacerbates vulnerabilities.
Strategies to Address Violence:
Education and Awareness:
? Promote gender equality through education.
? Raise awareness about the rights of women and children.
Legislation and Enforcement:
? Strengthen laws against domestic violence, sexual harassment, and child abuse.
? Ensure justice systems are accessible and responsive.
Community Involvement:
? Engage men and boys in addressing harmful norms.
? Create community-based support systems for survivors.
Support Services:
? Provide safe shelters, counseling, and legal aid for survivors.
? Establish child protection systems and hotlines.
