STORY
The global theme of the campaign this year is Leave No One Behind - End Violence
Against Women And Girls.
Ms. Alalo urged victims of gender-based violence to speak out and break the silence
on these violations.
When we keep quiet and dont talk about it, then we are also perpetrators of
gender-based violence, Ms. Alalo remarked.
According to the report, harmful practices such as female genital mutilation, which is
still widely practised in Somalia, and is considered an extreme case of violence
against women, has declined by 24 per cent worldwide, although prevalence
remains high in at least 30 countries.
Research shows that achieving gender equality helps in preventing conflict, and high
rates of violence against women.
