The United Nations General Assembly has designated November 25 as the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women.
The premise of today is to raise awareness of the fact that women around the world are subject to rape, domestic violence and other forms of violence; furthermore, one of the aims of this day is to highlight that the scale and true nature of the issue is often hidden.
For 2013, the official theme framed by the UN Secretary-General’s campaign UNiTE to End Violence against Women, is Orange the World in 16 Days.
