In July last year the Secretary-General’s UNiTE to End Violence against Women campaign proclaimed every 25th of the month as Orange Day. Initiated and led by the UNiTE campaign Global Youth Network, worldwide activities implemented on this day by UN country offices and civil society organizations strive to highlight issues relevant to preventing and ending violence against women and girls, not only once a year, on 25 November (International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women), but every month.
Representatives from governments around the world, UNESCO, UN-Habitat and UN Women, as well as from various Ivorian ministries and the consular corps lent their support by attending the forum, which was held from 24 to 27 September on the theme of “Women and Armed Conflict”.
