Align UN Initiative – SAY NO To Violence Against Women & Girls

16 Days of Activism

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), Violence Against Women and Girls remains the most widespread and pervasive human rights violation worldwide affecting more than an estimated 1 in 3 women, a figure that has remained largely unchanged over the last decade. The COVID-19 pandemic has intensified violence against women and a recent study finds that almost 40% of Hong Kong women have experienced sexual abuse. These figures, however, according to WHO, are under reported. Every year, during the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence (25 November to 10 December), Zonta clubs and Zontians around the world take action and advocate to end gender-based violence, raise public awareness of gender equality and mobilize people everywhere to bring changes.
