SHE & Rights | Why is there hardly any change in violence against women since 2000? #ItsTimeForAccountability


Join us on 8th December 2025, Monday, in SHE & Rights special session during the 16 Days of Activism against gender-based violence, and ahead of International Human Rights Day and UHC Day.

Why are we failing to end one of humanity's oldest and most pervasive injustices?

Ending gender-based violence is human rights imperative
[हिंदी] Few weeks ago, the World Health Organization (WHO) Director General Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus had said: "Violence against women is one of humanity’s oldest and most pervasive injustices, yet still one of the least acted upon. No society can call itself fair, safe or healthy while half its population lives in fear. Ending this violence is not only a matter of policy; it is a matter of dignity, equality and human rights."
