Every year, as part of our mission, UNFPA leads key activities during the 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence, a global campaign starting on November 25—International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women—and ending on December 10—Human Rights Day. This movement calls for action to prevent and end gender-based violence, one of the most widespread human rights violations worldwide.

On December 6, 2023, UNFPA, the Embassy of Spain, the Embassy of Sweden, and the Embassy of Ireland hosted a high-level panel discussion focused on GBV in crisis settings in Ethiopia. Here is a video capturing the key conversations with development partners and stakeholders.
