Women all over the word face violence in different forms in their houses, in their workplaces, in their neighbourhoods and its needless to say that such violence against the gentler gender has no place in a civilised world.
The United Nations observes 25 November as the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women to spread the word that violence against women and girls has no place in any society and impunity for perpetrators must no longer be tolerated. Violence against women is an obstacle to the universal achievement of equality, development and peace and is a violation of the fundamental human rights and freedom of women.
On this international day the United Nations urges governments, civil society, corporate sector and individuals to take responsibility to eradicate violence against women and girls.
