International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women 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.

¿Por qué este Día internacional?

Debido a que:

• La violencia contra la mujer es una violación de los derechos humanos
• La violencia contra la mujer es consecuencia de la discriminación que sufre, tanto en leyes como en la práctica, y la persistencia de desigualdades por razón de género
• La violencia contra la mujer afecta e impide el avance en muchas áreas, incluidas la erradicación de la pobreza, la lucha contra el VIH/SIDA y la paz y la seguridad
• La violencia contra las mujeres y las niñas se puede evitar. La prevención es posible y esencial
• La violencia contra la mujer sigue siendo una pandemia global. Hasta un 70% de las mujeres sufren violencia en su vida.
