International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women

The International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women is observed annually on November 25. This date marks the beginning of the global 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence, which runs until Human Rights Day on December 10.

Locally in Ireland, gender-based violence remains a severe concern, with Women’s Aid providing critical support and advocacy.
