Battle against patriarchy

The goal is to create a society that sees violence against women as a collective moral failure.

Just as in previous years, this year too, the 16-day activism against gender-based violence (GBV) began with the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women on November 25. The theme for 2025 is “UNiTE to End Digital Violence against All Women and Girls”. According to the United Nations, globally, one in three women is subject to different forms of violence. The UN also acknowledges that with rapid technological advancement, technology-facilitated violence against women and girls—such as cyberbullying, online sexual harassment, trolling, hate speech, stalking, image-based abuse and AI-generated deepfakes—is proliferating.
