Today (November 25th) the world marks the International Day for Elimination of Violence Against Women. On this day too, begins the 16 days of activism against gender based violence. The 16 days campaign recognize the dignity of women, their contribution to society and the need for the society to appreciate them and intensify efforts to curb all forms of violence meted against women in many parts of the world. The 16 days culminate with the celebration of International Human Rights Day on 10th December.
This year (2013), the United Nations' theme for the International Day of Elimination of Violence Against Women is: Unite to End Violence Against Women.
It is imperative for all people to commit themselves to end all forms of gender based violence and hence promote a peaceful and violence free society for the benefit of all children, women and men of our human family.
