Save the date: “Breaking the silence on femicide: ending gender based violence against women and girls”

February 28, 2023

Femicide is the most brutal and extreme manifestation of violence against women and girls, rooted in gender inequality, stereotyped gender roles, discrimination towards women and girls or harmful social norms. Femicide takes place in all regions and countries around the world. Globally, an estimated 81,100 women and girls were killed intentionally in 2021. This side event will discuss ways to strengthen responses to gender related killings and other forms of gender based violence against women and girls on a local, national and international level.

The Permanent Missions of Cyprus and Malta, together with UN Women and UNODC, are organising a CSW67 side event entitled:

“Breaking the silence on femicide: ending gender based violence against women and girls”

📆 Thursday 9 March 2023

⏰ 08:15-09:30 a.m.

The event is open to UN Badge holders. The official invitation with the concept note will follow soon.
