Wear orange: International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women

18 Nov 2022

Help us raise awareness, increase advocacy and create space for discussion

On Friday, 25 November we encourage you to wear orange to help us #orangetheworld to mark the United Nation’s International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women. 

Globally, the UN reports that 1 in 3 women and girls will or have experienced physical or sexual violence. This is around 736 million women worldwide.  

The campaign aims to prevent and eliminate gender-based violence through raising awareness, increasing advocacy and creating space for discussion around solutions.
