The International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, observed on 25th November, is a United Nations-designated day to raise awareness about gender-based violence and the urgent need to end violence against women and girls worldwide. Violence against women remains a pervasive human rights issue, affecting millions globally. The day also marks the start of the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence, which runs until 10th December.

This day serves as a call to action for governments, organisations, and individuals to stand against violence in all its forms—whether physical, emotional, or economic—and to support survivors. It highlights the importance of education, community support, and legislation to protect women and promote gender equality.
