In Morocco, for example, the campaign was launched under the theme: &#8220;Aggravated and accentuated vulnerability of women in times of crisis&#8221;. The objective is to reveal and question the impact of Covid-19 on different groups of women who are particularly vulnerable to inequalities and discrimination (rural women, migrants, refugees, People with disabilities, elderly, mothers, single people, women living with HIV etc &#8230;)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Conducted in Morocco under the official hashtag&nbsp;<strong>#D\u00e9masquons_la_violence<\/strong> in Morocco, this campaign is essentially digital and media-based due to the health crisis. Several informative and entertaining tools will be shared on social networks, the websites of United Nations agencies, civil society, in the media &#8230; to raise public awareness. Similarly, webinars are scheduled to engage public opinion on this issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This year again, the operation &#8220;Orange the World&#8221; will take place under the hashtag&nbsp;<strong>&#8220;OrangetheWorld&#8221;.<\/strong>It will involve orangeing public buildings in several countries to mark the commitment of these institutions to the urgent elimination of violence against women.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since 2008, UN Women has dedicated 16 days of activism each year to denounce violence against women, at the call of the UN Secretary-General.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This Wednesday, November 25, UN Women is launching a campaign to denounce violence against women around the world.
