ACT to End Violence against Women: Official Programme Launch

17.09.2024

Official launch of the ACT Programme (Advocacy, Coalition Building, and Transformative Feminist Action to End Violence against Women), co-convened by UN Women and the European Union. The event will bring together UN Member States, civil society organizations, women’s rights activists, UN Women Goodwill Ambassadors, and global advocates.

 

The ACT (Advocacy, Coalition Building and Transformative Feminist Action) programme is a collaborative initiative between the EU and UN Women to address the persistent and evolving nature of violence against women and girls, which has been intensified by global crises and the misuse of digital technologies. ACT is committed to eliminating all forms of violence through enhanced global and regional advocacy, coalition-building, and advancing transformative feminist actions.

 

This launch event will explore the critical role of women’s rights organizations and movements in eradicating violence, examine the rise of anti-rights movements, and discuss strategies to prevent gender-based violence against women human rights defenders and women’s rights activists.

This is a hybrid event, please indicate in the registration link whether you are joining us in-person at the UN Women Headquarters or online.
