International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women: A Call for Action

Today, on the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, we came together to confront the pressing and alarming issue of violence against women. This year’s theme, "Every 10 minutes, a woman is killed, #NOEXCUSE," serves as a stark reminder of the widespread and devastating nature of this problem.

A diverse group of participants, including women's rights activists, youth advocates, and academics, gathered to deliver a unified and powerful message: there is no excuse for violence against women. The event provided a platform for discussion, solidarity, and action, as individuals from all walks of life united in their commitment to ending this violence.

As we reflect on the gravity of the issue, we urge both the public and authorities to join forces in preventing violence against women. We also call for greater efforts to ensure comprehensive support for survivors, addressing their immediate needs and long-term recovery. This day is a reminder that, together, we must work to create a world where women are safe, valued, and empowered.
