“Ending Violence Against Women Is Everyone’s Responsibility and Will Benefit All” 25th November-10th December 2012, Cambodia

Date:

Building on the success of last year’s campaign, a joint UN initiative is currently supporting NGOs to lead activities in 2012.  Gender and Development in Cambodia (GADC) and Women’s Media Center (WMC) have coordinated the campaign, bringing together government, civil society and the UN to organise a range of events that will take place over the coming weeks.  (Please see the attached schedule.)  The purpose of the campaign is to raise awareness about violence against women and advocate for effective response and prevention strategies that engage whole communities.  Events include radio talk shows, public marches, door to door awareness raising and public meetings to discuss priorities for Cambodia’s new National Action Plan to Prevent Violence Against Women.
