THE SECRETARY-GENERAL - MESSAGE ON INTERNATIONAL DAY FOR THE ELIMINATION OF VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN November 25, 2010 As noted, 2010 International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women , we recognize the widespread and growing effort to address this important issue. No longer are women's organizations alone. From Latin America to the United States, from Asia to Africa, men and children, young and old, musicians, celebrities and sports personalities, media, public and private organizations, and ordinary citizens are doing more to protect women and girls and promoting women's empowerment and rights. The social mobilization platform "Say NO-JOIN" has recorded nearly 1 million of the activities of civil society and individuals around the world. In August this year at the fifth World Youth Conference in Mexico, young activists from around the world were clear in their message: " Time to end violence against women and girls! "Member States are also involved. From November 2010, my database on the scope, nature and consequences of violence against women, which also records policies and programs to combat the pandemic, has recorded more than 100 reports of governments.'s celebration this year features the community's role business can play - from development projects to provide direct financial support to organizations working to end violence and accept the principles of corporate social responsibility. The "Women's Empowerment Principles", an initiative of United Nations Global Compact and UNIFEM, to recognize the costs to businesses of violence against women and now supported by over 120 leading companies. A growing number of media are bringing light to bear on so-called "honor killings, child trafficking and sexual violence in conflict, and awareness about the benefits to society of the empowerment of women . Yet much more needs to be done. In homes, schools and office, in refugee camps and conflict situations, the business sector can help us to prevent many forms of violence that women and girls continue to face. My United End Violence Against Women and Men Leaders Network, I launched last year, have created a welcoming and dynamic commitment. The word is spreading: violence against women and girls has no place in any society, and the impunity of perpetrators should no longer be tolerated. On this International Day, I urge everyone - governments, civil society, business, people - to take responsibility for ending violence against women and girls.
