Leo tunaanza rasmi Siku 16 za Kampeni Dhidi ya Ukatili wa Kijinsia, tukiungana na dunia kuendeleza harakati za kumaliza ukatili dhidi ya wanawake na wasichana.
Kaulimbiu ya mwaka huu, ‘Towards Beijing +30: UNiTE to End Violence Against Women and Girls,’ inatukumbusha dhamira yetu ya kuendeleza maazimio ya Mkutano wa Beijing ulioweka msingi wa usawa wa kijinsia miaka 30 iliyopita.
Ni muhimu kukumbuka kuwa, Ukatili wa kijinsia si tatizo la mtu binafsi bali ni changamoto ya kijamii inayohitaji mshikamano wa kila mmoja wetu—wanaume, wanawake, vijana, na wazee.
Tushirikiane kupaza sauti dhidi ya ukatili, kubadili mitazamo hasi, na kuchukua hatua za kuhakikisha wanawake na wasichana wanaishi katika mazingira salama, huru na yenye fursa sawa.
Kwa pamoja, tunaweza kujenga jamii ambayo haki, usawa, na utu vinathaminiwa. Mabadiliko yanaanza na mimi, wewe, na sisi sote. Tujitahidi kushirikiana kwa vitendo kuhakikisha tunafanikisha dunia isiyo na ukatili wa kijinsia!

Every 10 minutes, a woman is killed. #NoExcuse
Violence against women and girls remains one of the most prevalent and pervasive human rights violations in the world.
Globally, almost one in three women have been subjected to physical and/or sexual intimate partner violence, non-partner sexual violence, or both, at least once in their life.
For at least 51,100 women in 2023, the cycle of gender-based violence ended with one final and brutal act—their murder by partners and family members. That means a woman was killed every 10 minutes.
This scourge has intensified in different settings, including the workplace and online spaces, and has been exacerbated by conflicts, and climate change.
The solution lies in robust responses, holding perpetrators accountable, and accelerating action through well-resourced national strategies and increased funding to women’s rights movements.
This 2024 campaign Every 10 Minutes, a woman is killed. #NoExcuse. UNiTE to End Violence against Women will draw attention to the alarming escalation of violence against women to revitalize commitments, call for accountability and action from decision-makers.
It can manifest in physical, sexual and psychological forms, encompassing:
This affects women at all stages of their life, including education, employment, and opportunities.
Some women and girls, such as those in vulnerable situations or humanitarian crises, migrants, LGTBI, indigenous people or those with disabilities, face greater risk.
Violence against women continues to be an obstacle to achieving equality, development, peace as well as to the fulfillment of women and girls’ human rights.
All in all, the promise of the Sustainable Development Goals(SDGs) - to leave no one behind - cannot be fulfilled without putting an end to violence against women and girls.
