We at the International Secretariat of Global Alliance Against Traffic in Women (GAATW) join our members, partners, and friends around the world to commemorate the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence (GBV). We are inspired by the resilience and dedication of our colleagues who do not give up despite the old and new challenges.
This year's theme, “Towards Beijing +30: UNiTE to End Violence Against Women and Girls,” highlights the progress made in challenging the norms, policies, and systems that sustain inequality and harm. It also serves as a sobering reminder that we have a long way to go. There are still many policies and practices that jeopardise the progress that was made after long years of struggle and new challenges are coming up daily.
