The latest report on femicides by UN Women and UNODC has shown 140 women and girls die every day at the hands of their partner or a close relative, which means one woman or girl is killed every 10 minutes. Africa recorded the highest rates of intimate partner and family-related femicide, followed by the Americas, and then Oceania. Only 37 countries reported data on intimate partner and family-related femicides in 2023, a sharp decline from 75 countries in 2020. “Violence against women and girls is not inevitable—it is preventable. We need robust legislation, improved data collection, greater government accountability, a zero-tolerance culture, and increased funding for women’s rights organizations and institutional bodies,” said UN Women Executive Director, Sima Bahous. The report coincides with the start of the annual 16 Days of Activism campaign, which runs from November 25 to December 10.

What is the UN planning to do to address the many religious/cultural teachings that boys are brought up believing. That men are superior to women. Men have more value. Women must be subservient, and if she is not, boys/men are encouraged to punish the women. I agree that women and children need support and safe places to go to when home is no longer the safe place it should be. So do men. However, I don't believe we need more organisations or government legislation or words like femicide, created to solely focus on women. I believe we have enough, perhaps the current organisations need more support from community. Individual men are not the main root cause of this problem. I believe we need a broader approach, one that encompasses men and women to both feel safe to commicate their fears and the emotions attached to those fears effectively. We all need to be encouraged to (and feel safe to) question religious/cultural/political leaders who continue to teach that some peoples lives are more valuable than others.

Another victim today again? How can we shift the narrative that perpetuates women as victims of dispossession and disenfranchisement, often triggered by their spouse's slightest provocation? This harmful dynamic frequently culminates in women emerging from toxic relationships with devastating losses, and nothing to show for the precious years invested. Let's unite to: * Support organizations empowering women to escape abuse. * Advocate for policy changes protecting women's rights. * Educate communities to recognize and prevent toxic relationships. Together, we can break the cycle and ensure women's dignity and agency. #Let's shatter the silence surrounding toxic relationships. #Share your story. #support survivors. #demand change.

Today, We Stand Together: International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women Every 10 minutes, a woman loses her life to violence. For 51,100 women in 2023, the cycle of abuse ended in the most tragic way—murder at the hands of those closest to them. Violence against women and girls remains one of the most pervasive human rights violations globally. It exists in homes, workplaces, online spaces, and during times of conflict. Nearly one in three women worldwide has experienced physical or sexual violence, or both. Not just a statistic—it’s a call to action. At SousSHE, we stand united with women and girls everywhere to say: #NoExcuse. No excuse for violence, no excuse for silence, and no excuse for inaction. We are proud to join the 16 Days of Activism, beginning today, November 25th, and culminating on International Human Rights Day, December 10th.
