Say NO – UNiTE Team, UN Women

Seven in ten – that’s how many women and girls experience violence in their lifetime. It’s possible to end this pandemic, if we act now.

On the occasion of the International Day to End Violence against Women, Say NO – UNiTE launches a new global call for action – COMMIT to End Violence against Women.

We are asking governments everywhere to make concrete national commitments – from implementing laws and national action plans, rolling out education programmes, improving services and launching awareness campaigns – there are many measures that governments can take to make a difference in the lives of women and girls in every country. Will your government COMMIT? Find out at http://saynotoviolence.org/commit.

What can you do to mark the International Day to End Violence against Women?

•    Wear Orange and speak out to end violence against women and girls on 25 November
•    Organize an event to raise awareness during the 16 Days of Activism and post on www.saynotoviolence.org
•    Tweet to make your government COMMIT.
•    What will you COMMIT to do to end violence against women and girls in your country? Share your commitment on Facebook

COMMIT. Take action. End violence against women and girls.
