🕊️ International Day for Preventing Violence Against Women

🔶 Early Observance Toward November 25 – UN International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women
✍️ By CRA | https://craarts.blogspot.com

“Violence against women is not inevitable. It can and must be prevented.” – UN Secretary-General

Each year, as the world moves toward November 25, we begin an early observance period that raises critical awareness around the prevention of violence against women—a silent epidemic that crosses borders, cultures, and communities.

This period is more than just remembrance—it's a call to action, education, and empowerment.

🔺 The Urgent Reality

Violence against women takes many forms:

  • Domestic abuse

  • Sexual violence

  • Harassment (online & offline)

  • Human trafficking

  • Harmful traditional practices

According to the United Nations, nearly 1 in 3 women worldwide have experienced physical or sexual violence in their lifetime. Many more face psychological or economic abuse in silence.

🔸 Why an Early Observance?

In many regions, early awareness campaigns start in the first half of November, laying the groundwork for activism and solidarity ahead of November 25’s global observance. These days provide a powerful opportunity to:

  • Educate communities and youth

  • Engage policymakers and civil society

  • Empower survivors

  • Amplify the voices of change

🧡 Artistic Reflection: Paint Against the Pain

As an artist, I believe the canvas can be a voice for the voiceless.
🖌️ A single brushstroke, bold and defiant, can stand against centuries of silence.
Every mural, poem, or portrait honoring a survivor is a protest wrapped in beauty.

Let us use art as awareness and storytelling as strength.

🧩 What Can We Do?

🔹 Raise your voice: Share facts, survivor stories, and helpline information.
🔹 Educate others: Host workshops, blogs, or art sessions on gender justice.
🔹 Support survivors: Volunteer or donate to local shelters or NGOs.
🔹 Create Safe Spaces: Online and offline. Safety begins with listening.
🔹 Wear Orange: The UN's symbolic color for a violence-free future.

💬 Let’s Say It Loud

Violence against women is not a women’s issue—it’s a human issue.
No culture, religion, or tradition should justify harm.

We can build a world where our daughters, sisters, mothers, and friends live free from fear and full of dignity.
