Launch in Latin America of the campaign “Words Matter: 61 days, 61 words to combat SGBV”.
FIDH has produced a Glossary from A to Z shedding light on 61 key concepts related to sexual and gender-based violence, the contexts in which such crimes are committed and the standards that must be respected when engaging with survivors.
The aim of the Glossary is to identify and clarify fundamental definitions that defenders, activists, victims, academics, students, authorities and the general public can use as a starting point to explain terms, rights, norms and other essential concepts that are often unknown, misunderstood or misused.
Marking the International women’s rights day (8th March 2021) OPEN ASIA|Armanshahr Foundation and the Observatory of Women for Justice in Transition launched an online campaign “Words matter; 61 words , 61 days to combat SGBV for Persian speaking countries in the heart of Asia (Afghanistan, Tajikistan, Iran) in order to spearhead and promote a dialogue on the issue of sexual and gender based violence.
SIWA Artesanas de Paz and JDHG join this effort to spread and generate spaces for discussion about this tool, promoting this campaign, for all Spanish speakers around the world.
