It is a call to action and a reminder that violence against women and girls is the most pervasive human rights violation worldwide. There is #NoExcuse for gender-based violence. Over the following 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence, we are asking governments, institutions, and citizens to show us how much the world cares about ending violence against women and girls under the theme "UNITE! Invest to prevent violence against women and girls".

International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women Every 10 minutes, a woman is killed. #NoExcuse UNiTE to End Violence against Women Violence against women and girls remains one of the most prevalent and pervasive human rights violations in the world. Globally, almost one in three women have been subjected to physical and/or sexual intimate partner violence, non-partner sexual violence, or both, at least once in their life. For at least 51,100 women in 2023, the cycle of gender-based violence ended with one final and brutal act—their murder by partners and family members. That means a woman was killed every 10 minutes. This scourge has intensified in different settings, including the workplace and online spaces, and has been exacerbated by conflicts, and climate change. The solution lies in robust responses, holding perpetrators accountable, and accelerating action through well-resourced national strategies and increased funding to women’s rights movements.

Today, 25 November, is the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, and marks the start of 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence. There is #NoExcuse for violence against women. And yet, nearly one in three women globally experience violence in their lifetime. We all have a role to end violence against women for good. The Social Policy Group works closely with diverse women across Australia. We have created the Women’s Safety Hub, an in-language website where you can go to learn about the different forms of violence and where you can go for help. 👉 If you or someone you know has experienced domestic, family, or sexual violence: 📞 Call 1800RESPECT on 1800 737 732 or text 0458 737 732. 📞 Need an interpreter?
