The 16-day activism to fight against and prevent all forms of violence against women has begun from November 25 across the globe.
First marked in 1981, the campaign aims to create public awareness to prevent violence against women.
Here in the camps, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and its implementing parties also marked the beginning of the campaign by organizing awareness rallies, and stage programs.
Various camp-based organizations, community groups and camp management committee also expressed their solidarity to the campaign.
The campaign ends on December 10, which is marked as the International Human Rights Day annually.
Sounds like the campaign first of it’s kind among the Bhutanese and move is really praiseworthy. Women still the victims inside and outside the family in the 21st century is a shameful act of the mankind. Man should be educated in providing opportunity and recognition to women within the family and in the community.
How do I see support from officials for this in the camps as there is an ongoing hunger strike of women?
