International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women.

Violence against women is a violation of human rights and an attack on our core values. Women worldwide face unimaginable violence – physical, psychological, and economic – both offline and online. This year, the EU takes a historic step by adopting its first-ever law to effectively combat violence against women, following its accession to the Istanbul Convention.
The UNiTE campaign, themed “Every 10 Minutes, a Woman is Killed,” calls for global action to end violence and promote safety, dignity, and equality for all. Let’s stand united to create a safer, fairer world.
