International Day for the Elimination of #ViolenceAgainstWomen is an annual campaign aimed at preventing & eliminating violence against women & girls. It's also call for global action to increase awareness, promote advocacy, create opportunities for discussion on challenges & solutions.

Violence against women and girls (VAWG) is one of the most widespread, persistent and devastating human rights violations in our world today remains largely unreported due to the impunity, silence, stigma and shame surrounding it.

#ViolenceAgainstWomen continues to be an obstacle to achieving equality, development, peace as well as to the fulfillment of women and girls’ human rights & the promise of the #SDGs. To leave no one behind  cannot be fulfilled without putting an end to violence against women
 

By supporting and investing in strong, autonomous civil society organizations and other movements is key to ending violence against women and girls.

That is why this 2022 theme is UNITE! Activism to End Violence against Women & Girls.
