On the 25th anniversary of the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, world leaders, advocates, and organizations convened at the United Nations Headquarters to address the ongoing global crisis of violence against women and girls. Despite progress in some areas, the harsh reality remains: millions of women and girls worldwide continue to face violence in various forms, including physical, sexual, and emotional abuse. During the event, leaders reaffirmed their commitment to ending this violence, emphasizing the urgent need for stronger laws, better enforcement, and more resources to protect victims. Advocates called for a united global effort to eliminate gender-based violence, declaring that there is “no excuse” for its persistence and demanding immediate action to ensure safety and equality for all women and girls.

‘No Excuse’: A Global Call to End Violence Against Women

On the 25th anniversary of the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, world leaders and advocates gathered at the United Nations Headquarters to confront a stark reality: violence against women and girls remains a global crisis. With the theme “No Excuse,” the event served as a powerful call to action, highlighting both the progress made and the urgent work still needed to eliminate gender-based violence.

A Call for Urgent Action

UN Secretary-General António Guterres addressed the ongoing crisis with a sobering message, revealing the grim statistics: “Every day, 140 women and girls are killed by members of their own family.” He stressed that while progress has been made, the fight against violence remains far from over. His message underscored the continued need for global efforts to address and eliminate violence against women.

Philémon Yang, President of the UN General Assembly, set a resolute tone for the day, calling on the international community to use the occasion as an opportunity to exchange best practices, identify critical gaps, and strengthen commitments to prevent and eliminate violence against women and girls. His statement reflected a collective determination to accelerate the pace of change.

Progress Amid Challenges

While much remains to be done, significant progress has been made in the fight against gender-based violence. The UN Spotlight Initiative, in partnership with the European Union, has made substantial strides in creating positive change. Deputy Secretary-General Amina J. Mohammed shared that the initiative has led to the adoption or enhancement of nearly 550 laws and policies aimed at protecting women and girls. Additionally, the program has provided essential services to over three million women and supported educational and gender equality programs reaching eight million young women.

However, Sima Bahous, Executive Director of UN Women, emphasized that progress has been too slow and is increasingly threatened by emerging challenges, including political instability and technological advancements that can perpetuate violence. She called for greater investment in prevention strategies and continued, tireless efforts to achieve meaningful change. “We must be honest with ourselves,” Bahous stated, “the progress is too slow, and it is under threat. Today is a reminder that we must act with urgency.”

As the global community marks this important milestone, the call to end violence against women grows louder. The message is clear: there is no excuse for violence, and the fight to protect women and girls must continue until it is eradicated.

A Call to Action

American activist Tarana Burke, the founder of the MeToo movement, delivered a powerful and moving speech that seamlessly blended personal conviction with a global call to action. Drawing on the words of poet and activist June Jordan, Burke passionately declared, “‘We are the ones we’ve been waiting for.’ And for me, that ‘we’ is survivors—especially those of us who are most deeply affected: black and brown, queer and disabled, low wealth and impoverished. We have always had to be our own saviors.”

Her message resonated deeply, urging a collective response and highlighting the strength and resilience of survivors who have long been forced to fight for their own justice. Burke’s words emphasized the importance of solidarity and the need for survivors to take center stage in shaping the movement for change.

The Role of Men and Boys

A key theme that emerged during the event was the crucial role of men and boys in the global fight to eliminate gender-based violence. Many speakers underscored that true progress will only be achieved when men and boys actively participate in efforts to challenge harmful stereotypes, promote gender equality, and stand against violence. Advocates called for men to become allies, role models, and advocates for change, reinforcing the message that the responsibility to end gender-based violence lies with everyone, not just women and girls.

As the event concluded, it was clear that the fight against violence will require an all-encompassing effort—one that includes survivors, advocates, and allies from all walks of life, with a particular emphasis on engaging men and boys in creating a safer, more equitable world for all.

“They are allies who must introspect on what they can do better,” said Mr. Yang. “Moreover, they must take proactive steps to change discriminatory attitudes toward women and prevent violence against them,” he emphasized. His words highlighted the critical need for men to actively engage in addressing the root causes of gender-based violence, acknowledging that their participation is essential to creating a safer, more just society for women.

Ms. Mohammed echoed this sentiment, urging a collective effort to end violence against women. “Let us come together, especially our men and our boys, reaffirm our commitment, and intensify action to end violence against women,” she said. Her call to action reinforced the importance of involving men and boys not just as supporters, but as active agents of change in the global movement to eradicate violence.

Both leaders emphasized that the responsibility to end violence is shared by all, and that the involvement of men and boys is crucial in challenging harmful societal norms and ensuring lasting change.

Mr. Yang’s remarks were a powerful reminder of the role men and boys play in ending violence against women. He stressed the importance of self-reflection and a shift in perspective: “They are allies who must introspect on what they can do better. Moreover, they must take proactive steps to change discriminatory attitudes toward women and prevent violence against them.” His call underscored that it’s not enough to be passive bystanders; men must become active participants in transforming societal norms and fostering respect for women.

Ms. Mohammed also emphasized the need for unity and collective action. “Let us come together, especially our men and our boys, reaffirm our commitment, and intensify action to end violence against women,” she urged. She called for men and boys to take responsibility in reshaping the cultural attitudes that perpetuate gender-based violence, highlighting that the fight for women’s rights is not just a women’s issue, but a global responsibility.

Both leaders reinforced that the journey toward ending violence against women requires a multi-faceted approach, including legislative reform, education, and the active involvement of all genders. While progress has been made, they reiterated that the task is far from complete, and the commitment to change must be unwavering. Men and boys, in particular, must be allies in this fight, advocating for equality, respect, and the safety of women at every level of society.

106. ^ Case Closed: Rape and Human Rights in the Nordic Countries (PDF) (Report). Amnesty International. September 2008. pp. 89–91. Finland is repeatedly reminded of its widespread problem of violence against women and recommended to take more efficient measures to deal with the situation. International criticism concentrates on the lack of measures to combat violence against women in general and in particular on the lack of a national action plan to combat such violence and on the lack of legislation on domestic violence. (…) Compared to Sweden, Finland has been slower to reform legislation on violence against women. In Sweden, domestic violence was already illegal in 1864, while in Finland such violence was not outlawed until 1970, over a hundred years later. In Sweden the punishment of victims of incest was abolished in 1937, but not until 1971 in Finland. Rape within marriage was criminalised in Sweden in 1962, but the equivalent Finnish legislation only came into force in 1994 – making Finland one of the last European countries to criminalise marital rape. In addition, assaults taking place on private property did not become impeachable offences in Finland until 1995. Only in 1997 did victims of sexual offences and domestic violence in Finland become entitled to government-funded counselling and support services for the duration of their court cases.

Given this brief’s focus on violence against Native women, we include the updated rate of 67 percent reported by Native women victims of rape or sexual assault indicated in Bachman, et al., (2008).
