Today we mark the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women & Girls and launch #16 Days of activism initiative, concluding on 10 December with commemoration the International Human Rights Day!

European Union Delegation to Turkmenistan stands up against Gender-based violence!

During these 16 days, join our global campaign #OrangeTheWorld  in solidarity with victims and survivors of violence.

Theme for this year is: UNITE!​ INVEST​ to​ PREVENT​ VIOLENCE against Women & Girls.

Campaigns like #16Days of Activism against gender-based violence serve as powerful reminders of the urgent need to address and eradicate this pervasive issue. Gender-based violence affects individuals of all backgrounds, regardless of their age, race, or socioeconomic status. It is a violation of human rights and a barrier to achieving gender equality.
