"Girls shouldn't be hit,
not even with a flower"
Do you know that...?
Today we celebrate...
the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women.
According to the United Nations ...
Prevention is the 2015 theme of the International Day
for the Elimination of Violence against Women on 25 November.
Why this International Day?
- Violence against women is a human rights violation
- Violence against women is a consequence of discrimination against women, in law and also in practice, and of persisting inequalities between men and women
- Violence against women impacts on, and impedes, progress in many areas, including poverty eradication, combating HIV/AIDS, and peace and security
- Violence against women and girls is not inevitable. Prevention is possible and essential
- Violence against women continues to be a global pandemic.
