The United Democratic Movement Women's Organisation (UDEMWO) remains steadfastly opposed to violence against women as we commemorate the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, and today we kick off 16 Days of Activism against Women and Children, which is held annually from the 25th of November to the 10th of December.
