The International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women on 25 November, followed by the global 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-based Violence, is a moment to reflect on, renew, amplify, and strategize to achieve commitments to eliminate violence against women by 2030.
Unfortunately, at least 280 women were killed in Türkiye in 2021. Femicide and violence is still one of the biggest issues globally. 
Every woman has the right to live her life safely and free of violence. A life without violence is essential to women's health. You can take steps to protect women and to help promote a culture that does not allow or accept violence against women.
We can stop this violence if we act together and stand together through this challenging time. Do not be afraid and know that there are other people with you in this war.
