Gender-based violence devastates lives worldwide.
Yet, the 2025 Global Media Monitoring Project finds it appears in fewer than 2 in 100 news stories.
Silence reinforces stereotypes and stalls progress #ForAllWomenAndGirls.
Accountability can't wait.

At our #GlobalWebinar on #EndFemicide & #GBV, Dalmas Omia from @uonbi unpacked the understanding, experiences & perceptions of femicide — from intimate partner femicide to sexual violence, property-related & transactional femicide, etc
Let’s name it to end it🎯
“@UN_Women & @UNODC have generated crucial data on femicide, but data alone isn’t enough. We must embed systematic, continuous data collection into broader strategies to prevent #GBV & #Femicide. These are not isolated crimes — they fuel instability & conflict.” —@kalliopiunwomen
