International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women

16 days of activism against gender-based violence begins on 25 November (International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women) and lasts until 10 December (Human Rights Day).

There is no excuse for gender-based violence. #NoExcuse

However, 1 in 3 women worldwide have experienced physical or sexual violence at least once in their lives. UN Women and the European Commission launched the new ACT programme to stop violence against women through advocacy, coalition-building and transformative feminist action, as co-leaders of the Action Coalition on Gender-Based Violence.

The Chamber of Economy of the Federation of BiH, as a responsible actor in the Generation Equality campaign – the Action Coalition against Gender-Based Violence, supports and calls for joint action in the 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence campaign.
