Gender-Based Violence is an annual international campaign that kicks off on 25 November, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, and runs until 10 December, Human Rights Day. It is the most pervasive yet least visible human rights violation in the world. GIAST has organized campaign to create awareness about gender based violence calls on teacher trainees to show how much they care about ending violence against women and girls by sharing their views on actions that government should take to create a world free from violence towards women.
Five teacher trainees have participated in this group discussion activity which has conducted in premises of GIAST on 15th of December where they discussed about specific measures to address and prevent violence against women and girls. These ranged from passing or improving laws, ratifying international conventions, launching public awareness campaigns, providing safe houses or free hotline services and free legal aid to survivors, supporting education programmes that address gender stereotypes and violence.
