Human Rights Day: In 2022, Human Rights Day is focusing on how rights are the beginning of peace within societies, and a way to create a fairer society for future generations. The 16 Days of Activism to End Gender-Based Violence includes Human Rights Day which acknowledges that ‘Women’s Rights are Human Rights’: www.ohchr.org/en/women. That means justice and hope for survivors; & accountability/responsibility for perpetrator behaviour change.
Women and girls have the right to live with freedom from fear of violence and abuse. In 2008, the UN Secretary General launched UNiTE by 2030 to End Violence Against Women Campaign. For ongoing actions, refer to the UN Women UNiTE Campaign:
