International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women

Have you known that International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women is on the November 25th? It was designated by the United Nations General Assembly to raise awareness of the fact that women around the world are subject to rape, domestic violence and other forms of violence; furthermore, one of the aims of the day is to highlight that the scale and true nature of the issue is often hidden.

Seoul YWCA conducted a campaign for this day in front of the Myeongdong Cathedral Church.

We distributed "No violence to women!" stickers to campaign participants and collected signatures for Equal Pay for Equal Work.
