This powerful event series at John Jay College of Criminal Justice, in collaboration with the NGO Committee on the Status of Women, New York (NGO CSW/NY), brought together voices from across the globe to reflect on the progress we’ve made and the work that still lies ahead. We couldn’t have done it without the dedication and vision of the NGO CSW/NY Executive Committee and Team, who made this series such a success. 🎉 A huge thank you to each of you for bringing this to life! ✨ Special shoutout to Rosemary Barberet, Professor in the Sociology Department at John Jay College of Criminal Justice, who teaches and serves in International Criminal Justice and is a proud member of the NGO CSW/NY Executive Committee.

Violence against women and girls (VAWG) is a grave human rights violation rooted in inequality. Frameworks like CEDAW, adopted in 1979, have been pivotal in recognizing VAWG as a form of discrimination requiring urgent action. Global and regional agreements also strengthen this fight: 🔹 Istanbul Convention (Europe) 🔹 Belém do Pará Convention (Latin America) 🔹 Maputo Protocol (Africa) 🔹 ILO Convention No. 190 (Global) – addressing gender-based violence and harassment in the workplace As we mark the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence, let’s honor these commitments and work together to end VAWG everywhere. 🌍✊ Read more here https://ow.ly/V02t50UnBCA #16Days #EndVAW #CEDAW #HumanRights #GenderEquality

Poverty and gender-based violence are deeply connected. Violence traps women and girls in poverty, while poverty increases their risk of violence. Breaking this cycle means addressing both—empowering survivors and promoting economic justice. #16Days #EndGBV #BreakTheCycle

Education is a game-changer in the fight against gender-based violence! 📚✨ It empowers, challenges harmful norms, and paves the way for equality. When we invest in education, we invest in a future free from violence. #16Days #EndGBV #EducationForChange
