The International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women is celebrated on November 25th to raise awareness about the widespread issue of violence against women and girls. This day was officially designated by the United Nations General Assembly in 1981 and aims to highlight that violence against women is a human rights violation that impedes progress in many areas, including poverty eradication, combating HIV/AIDS, and peace and security. The day also marks the beginning of the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence, which runs until December 10th, International Human Rights Day. It's a powerful reminder of the importance of standing together to end violence and support survivors. #InternationalDayfortheEliminationofViolenceAgainstWomen #YouAreNotAlone #EndViolenceAgainstWomen #4ABetterWorld
