Source text - Spanish Dianova insta a políticos, empresas y la sociedad a “pintar el mundo de naranja” para eliminar la violencia hacia la mujer
El próximo 25 de noviembre, la entidad no gubernamental se adhiere a la campaña ÚNETE de la ONU, una iniciativa de 16 días que busca concienciar acerca de los abusos y agresiones que sufren al menos 800 millones de mujeres y niñas de todo el mundo
Noviembre 2017 – La violencia contra la mujer se ha convertido en una pandemia global y algunos estudios sugieren que hasta un 70% de las mujeres ha sufrido algún tipo de abuso físico o psicológico alguna vez en su vida. Por este motivo, y con la finalidad de generar conciencia entre la sociedad, las empresas y legisladores acerca de esta grave situación, el próximo 25 de noviembre —Día Internacional para la Eliminación de la Violencia contra la Mujer— Dianova International dará inicio a su campaña anual de 16 jornadas de activismo “ÚNETE”, organizada por la ONU.
Para Montse Rafel, directora de Dianova, es imprescindible que los gobiernos, el sector privado y las organizaciones de la sociedad civil trabajen juntos para identificar las necesidades e implementar políticas y medidas destinadas a proteger a las mujeres y las niñas.
La iniciativa, cuyo lema es “No dejar a nadie atrás”, pretende impulsar acciones que ayuden a poner fin a las agresiones que sufren al menos 800 millones de mujeres y niñas en todo el mundo. Una de esas acciones es “Pinta el Mundo de Naranja”, que invita a la sociedad civil a compartir sus fotos luciendo una prenda de ese color (que simboliza un futuro más optimista y mejores oportunidades para todas las mujeres) y mensajes a través de redes sociales usando el hashtag #OrangeTheWorld
La violencia contra la mujer se genera en todas las esferas de la vida: familia, pareja, trabajo, educación, salud, etc. Dianova plantea que estos tipos de abusos se relacionan principalmente con estructuras sociales sexistas y patriarcales, que no solo favorecen la violencia, sino que perpetúan las desigualdades entre hombres y mujeres, tales como la brecha salarial que alcanza el 23% a nivel mundial, según la Organización Internacional del Trabajo.
Pese a este preocupante panorama es posible realizar un cambio: la violencia contra las mujeres y las niñas es prevenible. “Nunca ha habido un mejor momento para actuar, en este momento hombres y mujeres de todo el mundo están más que nunca dándose cuenta de su responsabilidad y poder para poner fin a estas violencias. Tenemos que exigir a los gobiernos que implementen leyes capaces de proteger a las mujeres. Podemos unir nuestras voces para luchar contra las violencias y promover los derechos humanos, en el ámbito laboral, las escuelas, las redes sociales, etc.”, señala la directora de Dianova.
La campaña de 16 días —que finalizará el 10 de diciembre, Día de los Derechos Humanos— es una movilización social, que además incluirá eventos como la iluminación en color naranja de edificios y lugares emblemáticos en distintos países para atraer la atención de todo el mundo, y la conmemoración oficial de la ONU del Día Internacional para la Eliminación de la Violencia contra la Mujer que se realizará el 22 de noviembre.
ÚNETE se enmarca dentro del objetivo de desarrollo sostenible #5, que reconoce la igualdad de género y empoderamiento de mujeres. Este propósito forma parte de la Agenda 2030 —conformada por 17 metas— adoptada en 2015 por los 193 miembros de la entidad gubernamental con el fin de mejorar las condiciones de vida de las personas, el planeta y la prosperidad económica.
Translation - English Dianova urges politicians, businesses, and society to “paint the world orange” to eliminate violence against women
On November 25th, the non-governmental organization will adhere to the United Nations’ UNiTE campaign, a 16-day initiative that seeks to raise awareness surrounding the abuse and assault that at least 800 million women and girls suffer worldwide.
November 2017 – Violence against women has become a global pandemic, with some studies suggesting that up to 70% of women have suffered some type of physical or psychological abuse at some point in their lives. Because of this, and with the aim of generating awareness among society, businesses, and legislators regarding this serious situation, on November 25th—the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women—Dianova International will begin its annual campaign of 16 days of activism, “UNiTE”, organized by the UN.
According to Montse Rafel, director of Dianova, it is essential that governments, the private sector, and civil society organizations work together to identify needs and implement policies and measures aimed to protect women and girls.
The initiative, whose mottos is “No one left behind”, hopes to inspire actions that help put an end to the abuse that afflicts at least 800 million women and girls around the world. One of these efforts is “Paint the World Orange”, which invites people to share photos of themselves wearing an outfit of this color (which symbolizes a more optimistic future and better opportunities for all women) and messages on social media using the hashtag #OrangeTheWorld.
Violence against women is present in all aspects of life: family, relationships, work, education, health, etc. Dianova suggests that this type of abuse is related mainly to sexist and patriarchal social structures that not only favor violence, but perpetuate inequalities between men and women, such as a wage gap that reaches 23% at the global level according to the International Labour Organization.
Despite this worrying state, it is possible to make a change: violence against women and girls is preventable. “There has never been a better time to act, at this moment men and women from around the world are, more than ever, realizing their responsibility and power to put an end to this violence. We must demand that governments implement laws capable of protecting women. We can unite our voices to fight against violence and promote human rights in the workplace, in schools, on social media, etc.,” the director of Dianova says.
The 16-day campaign—which ends on December 10th, Human Rights Day—is a social movement that will also include events like lighting up buildings and iconic places in orange in various countries to attract attention around the world, as well as the UN’s official commemoration of the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women which will be carried out on November 22nd.
UNiTE falls under the UN’s sustainable development goal #5, which recognizes gender equality and women’s empowerment. This effort is part of Agenda 2030—comprising 17 goals—adopted in 2015 by the 193 members of the government entity with the aim of improving living conditions, the planet, and economic prosperity.
