TunisiaWebinar: Say No and Stop Violence Against Women and Girls
On the occasion of the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women (25 November 2020) and with the support of DG NEAR and the EU Delegations in the Southern Neighbourhood, the regional communication project EU Neighbours South is organizing a webinar to take a stand against all forms of gender-based violence and particularly the Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG).
The topics chosen for the event are:
- Violence in public spaces and domestic violence
- Crisis and gender-based violence
- Online violence against women and girls
For years, the EU has mobilized funds for initiatives, programmes, civil society and women’s movements to advocate, prevent, protect and support women victims of violence not only in Europe but also in the Southern partner countries. However all these efforts remain insufficient to put an end to gender-based violence, particularly during humanitarian crises, incl. conflicts, natural disasters, or the current Covid-19 health crisis which has shown that all types of violence, and particularly domestic violence, have intensified.
The webinar will shed light on EU-funded programmes and initiatives by featuring not only their actions on the ground from different perspectives but also their results at national level and across national boundaries, as well as the challenges to put forward gender equality as core value in the mindsets of the people and communities.
