Kyrgyzstan launches 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence
16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence Campaign Begins in Kyrgyzstan
The 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence campaign has kicked off in Kyrgyzstan, running from November 25th to December 10th. The annual campaign aims to raise awareness about the issue of violence against women and girls.
This year’s campaign is focused on the importance of funding preventive strategies to eradicate violence before it occurs. With the sobering statistic that one in three women worldwide experience violence, the negative impact on women’s physical and mental well-being is clear. The COVID-19 pandemic, armed conflicts, and climate change have only served to exacerbate the issue, leading to economic insecurity and disruption of access to livelihoods.
The campaign seeks to shed light on the widespread issue of gender-based violence and its impact on women and girls. It encourages the support of preventive measures and strategies to address this pervasive problem.
As the 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence campaign unfolds in Kyrgyzstan, it is an opportunity for individuals and organizations to come together to address this important issue and work towards a safer and more equitable future for all.
