25 November International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women

International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women

Today, around the world, people raise their voices against all forms of violence against women. 

In this article, UNHCR remembers us that refugees women suffer from major disadvantaged conditions. The direct and active involvement of refugees women in identifying the problems and solutions can be a constructive way to face these issues. 

"Asking refugee women to identify solutions to the problems that affect them and partnering with them to implement those solutions may not sound ground-breaking. But according to Adjunct Associate Professor Eileen Pittaway of the Forced Migration Research Network at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) in Sydney, Australia, it is only recently becoming the norm."

We invite everyone to take action and support women's fight against violence and discrimination.
