Every 10 minutes, a woman is killed. Almost 1 in 3 women globally are estimated to have experienced physical or sexual violence. And, female victims of trafficking are subjected to extreme violence at a rate 3X higher than males. Across the world, the epidemic of gender-based violence continues to be a persistent and devastating reality for women and girls. These crimes can manifest in several different ways, including: intimate partner violence, sexual violence and harassment, human trafficking, and child marriage. Violence against women remains a widely underreported crime due to the stigma, impunity, and culture of shame that surrounds it. In fact, less than 40% of women who experience violence seek help. This is why days like International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women are so crucial; through organizing, educating, and challenging harmful societal norms and beliefs, we can make progress towards a world in which the human rights of all women and girls are upheld. "Violence against women does not only concern women. It concerns everyone, and the work to combat it must be done by all." - The United Nations. Creating a world free of gender-based violence starts with all of us. Share this post to spread awareness and stand with survivors everywhere. *Sources: United Nations, UN Women

Today is the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women. 🌎 Every 10 minutes, a woman is killed. Violence against women and girls is one of the most prevalent and devastating human rights violations in the world. Globally, almost 1 in 3 women experience physical and/or sexual violence in their lifetime, whether from an intimate partner, non-partner, or both. For 51,100 women in 2023, the cycle of gender-based violence ended in tragedy—their lives were taken by partners or family members. That’s one woman killed every 10 minutes. Ending this requires robust responses: holding perpetrators accountable, implementing well-funded strategies, and supporting women’s rights movements.

As we mark International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, the UN cites sobering statistics. ❗️ Femicide—the most extreme form of violence against women and girls—remains pervasive globally. ❗️ One woman or girl is killed every 10 minutes by their intimate partner or family member. ❗️ Globally, 85,000 women and girls were killed intentionally in 2023. ❗️ 60 per cent of these homicides—51,100—were committed by an intimate partner or a family member. You can read the full article at https://lnkd.in/eK2BvDMj In this 2023 IDB blog, https://lnkd.in/eyFMCtvN, María Caridad Araujo, IDB's Chief of the Gender and Diversity Division, notes that in Latin America and the Caribbean: ❗️ 25% of women in the region have been victims of physical or sexual violence by their intimate partners. If we include violence outside of intimate relationships, this number increases to 34%. The campaign, 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence, has started. It is clear that an intersectional approach is needed, and the IDB continues to seek new approaches to prevent, address, and eliminate gender-based violence. I will continue to post about ending gender-based violence throughout the campaign, and ask for your shared support in amplifying the message that there is #noexcuse to harm women and girls.

Violence against women and girls is a profound and ongoing crisis that impacts millions of lives, calling for our attention. Every day, countless women and girls around the world endure abuse—whether it’s physical, sexual, or emotional—that leaves lasting scars on their bodies, minds, and spirits. This suffering is deeply rooted in systems of gender inequality and harmful cultural norms that, knowingly or unknowingly, give power to those who harm and silence those who are hurt. Survivors of intimate partner violence often find themselves battling trauma, mental health challenges, and economic setbacks that are passed down through families and communities, sometimes for generations. Adolescent girls and those who face additional layers of discrimination, like women with disabilities, are often at the greatest risk, finding that doors to support are too often closed or difficult to reach. When crises like climate disasters, wars, or economic struggles hit, the dangers for women and girls are exacerbated. Displacement, resource scarcity, and the breakdown of community support make it even harder for them to find protection. During these times, reports of violence spike, and too often, protections that should be in place fall short. The most vulnerable women—those who are already marginalized—face heightened risks of being exploited or hurt. Addressing these interconnected challenges requires compassionate, comprehensive, and coordinated action to not only prevent violence but also tackle the systemic inequalities that perpetuate it. Together let’s take a stand and #UNiTE to end violence against women. #16DaysOfActivism #KingstonTakesAction #EndGBV To learn more: https://lnkd.in/gH-e9BB   Follow Kingston’s GBV support services: @sackingston, @trellishiv, @kingstonintervalhouse, and @resolvecounsellingservices

Today is more than just a date on the calendar; it’s a call to action. Violence against women and girls is a global crisis, with 1 in 3 women experiencing physical and/or sexual violence in their lifetime. In 2023 alone, over 51,000 women lost their lives to gender-based violence. That’s one woman every 10 minutes. On the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, we draw attention to the harrowing escalation and epidemic of violence against women and girls. We join the call for accountability and action from decision-makers, and to bring justice for murdered and missing Indigenous women and girls across our country.
