For the second year in a row, the United States diplomatic mission to Kazakhstan took part in the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence, an annual international initiative launched by the United Nations to draw attention to the problem of violence against women and girls. Every year the campaign begins on November 25, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, and ends on December 10, Human Rights Day.
“Together, we can achieve a world where women and girls have the resources and opportunities to reach their full potential, live free from violence, and, of course, live their dreams,” said U.S. Ambassador to Kazakhstan William Moser in a joint video statement by the United Nations, the European Union, OSCE, and foreign Diplomatic Missions in Kazakhstan.
