UN Women

A comprehensive report on the 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence Campaign held from 25 November 2018 (the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women) to 10 December 2018 (Human Rights Day) to galvanize action to end violence against women and girls around the world. The report provides links to previous years’ campaigns.

The report identifies the progress made by institutional approaches to tackling violence against women in the region. It also presents positive experiences that occurred in some states in the areas of prevention, care, punishment, and reparation for violence against women and provides recommendations to address the obstacles that prevents the full implementation of measures tackling violence against women in the Latin America. It provides an important resource for many countries in the process of formulating, implementing and evaluating their own public policies and plans.
