Monday 25 November 2024 is the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women and marks day one of the 16 Days of Activism. Each year, from 25 November to 10 December, World Human Rights Day, the 16 Days of Activism campaign calls for action against one of the world’s most persistent violations of human rights – violence against women. During the 16 Days of Activism, people around the world unite to raise awareness about gender-based violence, challenge discriminatory attitudes and call for improved laws and services to end violence against women for good. Despite such huge global campaigns, in Pakistan, women are abused and killed for not presenting a chilled glass of water to their husband in time or not putting the right amount of salt in curry! Join hands with LAWomen to end violence against women in Pakistan.

Today, November 25, is the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women. I dread this day. It’s a reminder of the little progress we’ve made - and how far we still have to go. Violence against women is the most widespread human rights violation of our time. This global pandemic costs the world $1.5 trillion USD annually. That’s around 2% of the global GDP. This year, the focus is on femicide. A woman dies because of assault every ten minutes somewhere around the world. Yet, globally, there are only 16 pieces of legislation that hold perpetrators accountable for femicide. Over the past year, our news feeds have been inundated with images of dismembered women and girls in Gaza, IOF soldiers parading around in displaced/murdered Palestinian and Lebanese women’s undergarments, reports of large-scale rape and sexual assault in Sudan, draconian edicts in Afghanistan aimed to erase women from public life, cybersex deepfake crimes against girls in South Korea, the ongoing Gisèle Pelicot case in France…. I’m SCREAMING. When will it end!? If you don’t know where to start, I’ve created a Feminist Firestarter - an activist calendar to get us all moving. Head to www.LinaAbiRafeh.com and Join the Movement - you’ll get the Firestarter and my monthly newsletter filled with bite-sized activism. Whatever you do - do SOMETHING. Silence and inaction is never an option.  The louder we get, the sooner we’ll end this. #IDEVAW #VAW #GBV #violenceagainstwomen #womensrights #genderequality #ENOUGH

"We dream of a peaceful 2025 where we see a real turning point all over the world for women's rights and in the fight against male violence. But dreaming is not enough for us. For over 10 years we have joined over 160 countries all over the world, Rising and dancing against all forms of violence against women. In February 2025, we ask schools, cultural associations, sports associations, companies, anti-violence centers, institutions/sports federations, women and men to join the global protest against violence. There is no place for male violence against women. This is our wish." - (📸) @onebillionrisingitalia, Italy JOIN the movement: onebillionrising.org #VDay #1BillionRising #RiseForFreedom #RiseAgainstFascism #UntilTheViolenceStops

🌟 16 days of activism against GBV 🌟 Monday, November 25 this year marked the start of 16 days of activism against gender-based violence (GBV). This year's theme is "Toward Beijing+30: Let's unite to end violence against women and girls."  The 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence is an annual international campaign that begins on November 25, the #InternationalDay for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, and ends on December 10, the #humanrightsday. This campaign aims to raise awareness and encourage action to end gender-based violence. Why is orange the color of 16 Days of Activism? According to the Secretary General of the United Nations in 2008, “the color orange represents a bright future, a future without violence against women and girls”. We invite you to wear orange to show your support. #16daysofactivism #StopGBV #OrangeTheWorld #womensrights

🌍 Today, on the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, we stand united in the fight to end violence against women and girls everywhere. Violence in any form is a violation of human rights, and we must come together as a global community to demand change. 💪 At VIRCS, we support the UNITE to End Violence Against Women Campaign and invite you to join the movement through the powerful #NoExcuse campaign. Together, we can take action to: 🟧 End impunity: Advocate for laws and policies that hold perpetrators accountable. 🟧 Adopt, implement, and fund National Action Plans: These critical frameworks guide governments in defining policy and investment decisions to eliminate violence. 🟧 Invest in prevention and women's rights organizations: Empower survivors with access to essential services and protect their rights. This is a call to action for individuals, communities, and organizations to unite for a future free from violence. Let’s amplify our voices and drive the systemic change needed to make safety and equality a reality for all women and girls. 📢 Join the movement and learn more about how you can contribute: https://lnkd.in/g2Wh_82G #OrangeTheWorld #EndViolenceAgainstWomen #NoExcuse #UNITE #HumanRights #GenderEquality

The Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women was adopted by the UN General Assembly in 1979. (CEDAW). However, the issue of violence against women and girls continues to exist on a global scale. The General Assembly passed resolution 48/104 to address this problem and lay the groundwork for a world free of gender-based violence. Every year on November 25, there is a celebration of the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women. Today is observed as a day of remembrance for the Mirabal sisters, Dominican Republic activists who were assassinated in 1960 at Rafael Trujillo's command. The United Nations wants to increase public awareness about violence against women based on their gender. #Neevsolutions #FirstwomenorientedRealestatecompanyingurugram... #StopViolenceAgainstWomen #stopviolence #stopviolenceagainstwomen #women #violenzasulledonne #equality #love #novembre #violenceagainstwomen #feminism #violence #feminist #peace #womenempowerment #noviolence #metoo #humanrights #noallaviolenzasulledonne #k #woman #stop #donne #domesticviolence #justice #selfdefense #freedom #violenza #nonunadimeno #bhfyp #violenzadigenere #womensupportingwomen

🌍 Human Rights Day marks the last day of the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence. Human rights are universal, yet, for millions around the world, these rights remain a distant reality—particularly for women and girls, who disproportionately face violence, discrimination, and exclusion. Over the past 16 days, we have raised our voices, shared stories, and mobilised action to challenge the systems reproducing gender-based violence. However, activism is a constant fight, and despite the challenges, we must remain hopeful. The strength of change lies in our collective action, in our shared commitment to justice, equality, and dignity for all. In both Pela Igualdade and Politics4Her, two brilliant intersectional feminist organisations, we fight to create a world where everyone can live free from fear, violence, and oppression. Only by standing united, addressing root causes, and fostering accountability can we achieve the promise of dignity, freedom, and justice for all.
