FAME Foundation wrapped up the annual 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence (GBV) with a thought-provoking panel discussion on the theme: “A Comprehensive Approach to Ending GBV: Prevention, Community Engagement, Policy, and Survivor-Centered Support.”
The event, which brought together key panelists, activists, and experts, highlighted the urgent need for collaborative action to tackle the pervasive issue of gender-based violence and gender inequality.
The panel discussion served as a conclusion to FAME Foundation’s involvement in the commemoration of the campaign, which included the launch of its Femicide Tracker at the beginning of the 16 Days of Activism. The tracker aims to document and monitor cases of femicide, the killing of women based on their gender, which remains a severe and often overlooked issue. By keeping a detailed and accessible record of these tragic incidents, the Femicide Tracker not only draws attention to the alarming statistics but also seeks to hold governments and law enforcement accountable for their role in preventing violence against women.
During the 16 Days of Activism, FAME Foundation showcased unwavering dedication to combating gender-based violence and addressing gender inequality. Through a series of impactful initiatives including press releases, media engagements, visits to various media houses, program participation, the launch of the Femicide Tracker, webinars, and online campaigns, the organization amplified awareness about the severity of GBV. It created platforms for survivors to share their stories and advocated for policy reforms aimed at enhancing protection for women and girls.
The Foundation’s mission extends beyond these 16 days; it is an ongoing fight. By enhancing prevention, encouraging community engagement, pushing for strong policies, and ensuring survivor-centered support, we remain resolute in our vision of a world free from gender-based violence. As the campaign ends, FAME Foundation has vowed to continue its work, amplifying the voices of survivors and pushing for systemic change. With the support of partners, communities, and policymakers, the fight to end GBV and promote gender equality remains stronger than ever.
