International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women
Starting on November 25, and for the next two years, the U.N. Secretary-General’s UNiTE to End Violence against Women campaign will focus on the issue of rape as a specific form of harm committed against women and girls in times of peace and war. The campaign will raise the issues of consent, rape as a weapon of war and the comprehensive response required to assist survivors. It will also provide important and helpful resources that can assist in building an adequate response to the issue.
What can you do?
Get involved by learning more about rape culture, listening to survivors and sharing their stories, joining and starting conversations about consent.
