#16Days of Activism: Youth Combating Violence against Women

Violence against women and girls is a human rights violation. Since the outbreak of COVID-19, emerging data and reports from those on the front lines, have shown that all types of violence against women and girls, particularly domestic violence, has intensified. Women are also in inferior positions in the labor market on average, and therefore more likely to bear the brunt of the economic fallout.

In response to the crisis, UN Women Bangladesh and JAAGO Foundation is implementing a series of webinars under the funding support of the Government of Japan to reduce the disproportionate gender-based risks and negative impact of COVID-19 on women, including those who are the most marginalized and in particularly vulnerable situations. As a part of celebrating #16DaysOfActivism against Gender-Based Violence and to eradicate such casualties against women, JAAGO Foundation and UN Women Bangladesh is going to arrange a day-long webinar on the 5th of December named "Youth Combating Violence against Women in COVID".

Sessions

Looking forward to your participation on the 5th of December in JAAGO Foundation & UNWomen Bangladesh's Facebook page.

Let's stand against all kinds of violence and work towards a safe and violence-free world for everyone!
