16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence Launched

Since 1991, the United Nations has organized the global “16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence” campaign each year from November 25—International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women—to December 10—Human Rights Day. The campaign aims to mobilize public engagement in ending gender-based violence.

This year’s campaign, launched under the theme “Unite to End Technology-Facilitated Gender-Based Violence,” calls for collective action to address violence committed through digital and online platforms.

Ms. L. Munkhzul, State Secretary of the Ministry of Family, Labour and Social Protection, attended the opening ceremony, where she provided information on sectoral policies and measures, and affirmed the Ministry’s commitment to active cooperation with all stakeholders in the fight against gender-based violence.

The Ministry’s efforts focus on preventing domestic violence, raising public awareness and attitudes, providing professional social work and services to survivors, strengthening cross-sectoral cooperation, and ensuring timely access to essential services for children, women, and individuals affected by violence.

In 2024, a total of 1,578 people were recorded as victims of domestic violence, of whom 1,345 (85.2%) were women, 30 (1.9%) were men, and 203 (12.9%) were children.
