International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women
Yesterday, November 25th, marked the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women. With the theme “Unite to End Violence Against Women,” this day serves as a stark reminder that, every ten minutes, somewhere in the world, a woman is killed by a partner or family member.
To learn more about this vital campaign, please visit the official page: International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women | United Nations.
In solidarity, churches worldwide have joined the 16 Days of Activism, which began yesterday and will culminate on International Human Rights Day, 10th December. This global movement, which has taken place annually since 1995, was sparked by the Beijing Declaration and continues to be a powerful catalyst for advancing gender equality.
Everyone is encouraged to take action in raising awareness about gender-based violence and to engage with resources such as the Thursdays in Black movement, helping to drive positive change.
