Demanding Zero Tolerance For Gender Based Violence Against Women
At the end of a 16 days of activism against Gender Based Violence, Safer World Foundation, joined by leading experts in women’s rights and gender equality, this webinar was focused on why there should be Zero Tolerance for Gender Based Violence Against Women and how we can all work together to stop violence against women and girls at the start.
Theme: Orange the World: Fund, Respond, Prevent, Collect!
As countries implemented lockdown measures to stop the spread of the coronavirus, violence against women, especially domestic violence, intensified – in some countries, calls to helplines have increased five-fold.
The UN Secretary-General’s UNiTE to End Violence against Women campaign, a multi-year effort aimed at preventing and eliminating violence against women and girls, will focus on amplifying the call for global action to bridge funding gaps, ensure essential services for survivors of violence during the COVID-19 crisis, focus on prevention, and collection of data that can improve life-saving services for women and girls.
This year’s (2020) theme for the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women is “Orange the World: Fund, Respond, Prevent, Collect!”. Like in previous years, this year’s International Day will mark the launch of 16 days of activism that will conclude on 10 December 2020, which is International Human Rights Day.
