International Day for the Elimination of Sexual Violence in Conflict in
Days to go:
The International Day for the Elimination of Sexual Violence in Conflict is an observance that seeks to raise awareness about the horrific consequences of sexual violence committed during armed conflicts. This day is dedicated to acknowledging the survivors, ensuring justice, and promoting gender equality. The overarching aim of this observance is to foster support and solidarity, while simultaneously contributing to efforts in combating this inhumane act. It is of grave concern that sexual violence still persists as a tactic of war, employed to terrorize and subdue communities. Recognition of this day emphasizes the need to prevent and address the myriad impacts of sexual violence inflicted during times of war. In India, this observance holds significant relevance as the nation has faced numerous instances of violence due to internal conflicts and cross-border disputes. Alarmed by the surge in sexual violence in conflict zones, the United Nations General Assembly proclaimed the International Day for the Elimination of Sexual Violence in Conflict on June 19, 2015. This move made India, among other nations, an active participant in lending its support towards eradicating sexual violence from conflict zones. On this day, various organizations and institutions across India organize seminars, conferences, and awareness campaigns that delve into the issues surrounding sexual violence in conflicts. Educational institutions typically engage in debates, panel discussions, and essay competitions, fostering a spirit of active social responsibility in younger generations. The onus is on government institutions, NGOs, and civil society to initiate and participate in campaigns that help raise awareness about the brutality of sexual violence in conflict-affected areas. By shedding light on the issue and educating society, India endeavors to contribute to global efforts targeted at the elimination of this inhumane act. The observance is celebrated every year on the 19th of June. Top X Posts (formerly Tweets) for International Day for the Elimination of Sexual Violence in Conflict -Updated
