November 25: Say NO to Gender-Based Violence

Today, as on every November 25 since 2000, we celebrate the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, supported by the United Nations. Since then, the UN has invited all governments, international organizations, and NGOs to organize activities aimed at raising public awareness of a problem that is as common as it is detestable in today’s society. The United Nations Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM) is the main institution responsible for this initiative and for monitoring the activities held on this day. It presents studies and offers possible solutions to prevent this type of violence. At the Fundación Alares, we want to support the cause represented by this day by rejecting and condemning any form of violence against women. Today, you can find more information on our websites (www.alares.es and www.fundacionalares.es), as well as through the UNIFEM link.
