Observance of the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women and 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence

On the 25th Anniversary of the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women and the start of the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence, the United States renews our commitment to preventing and responding to all forms of gender-based violence and calls on the international community to join in a collective strengthening of these efforts.

U.S. policy and investments are yielding real-life impacts. Through our Safe from the Start ReVisioned initiative, we are prioritizing improving and expanding gender-based violence prevention, risk mitigation, response efforts, and expertise from the outset of all emergencies. In Fiscal Year 2024, the U.S. government provided more than $273 million in funding for gender-based violence prevention and response in emergencies.
