THE WOMEN

25TH OF NOVEMBER

November 25 marks the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women and Girls. Despite progress in various societies, violence against women remains one of the most pervasive human rights violations across the globe. Globally, nearly one in three women has experienced physical and/or sexual violence, committed by intimate partners, other men, or both, at least once in their lifetime. Women continue to face intensified violence in multiple environments, including workplaces and online spaces. In 2023 alone, UN reports reveal that 51,100 women lost their lives to gender-based violence. Alarmingly, the final recorded victim of the year was brutally murdered by her own parents and relatives. The data further highlights that a woman is killed every 10 minutes as a result of such violence. Adding to this crisis, in Haiti, armed gangs have been targeting institutions that provide primary healthcare for victims of sexual violence. As a result, an institution in Port-au-Prince has been forced to suspend their operations, worsening the plight of victims. In response to these alarming developments, the UN emphasizes the need for robust action to hold perpetrators accountable. This includes implementing well-resourced strategies and adequately funding women’s rights movements.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), around 27% of women worldwide (more than 1 in 4) have experienced physical or sexual violence by an intimate partner at least once in their lifetime. The rates vary depending on the region:
