UN Women UK
International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women 2016
Violence affects 1 in 3 women and girls around the world. Help us Orange the World and raise the funds we need to bring violence to an end
Story
We must end violence against women and girls worldwide.
Frameworks such as the Sustainable Development Goals offer huge promise. But without funding for the initiatives that will make a difference we won't see real change.
That's why we need you to join the 16 Days of Activism from 25 November. Raise awareness, raise money for UN Women programmes and change the world for women and girls.
We want to Orange the World! So during the 16 Days of Activism wear orange, get your colleagues to do the same, paint your nails orange, go for an orange fun run or hold an orange party. Above all, share your stories and ask your friends and family to donate - every donation will go to support UN Women programmes to help stop violence against women.
Join the global conversation and share your photos using #orangetheworld #16days.
