Since 1991, from 25 November (International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women) until 10 December (Human Rights Day), the international community has observed the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence.
Over the years, UNFPA’s campaigns during the 16 Days have raised awareness, galvanized advocacy and highlighted actions taken to combat various forms of gender-based violence: sexual harassment, child marriage, female genital mutilation, intimate partner violence and rape, among other atrocities.
However, this work is never over after the 16 Days. UNFPA works in more than 130 countries to stop violence and to support survivors every day. In 2019, UNFPA provided medical and mental psychosocial support to more than 760,000 people who have experienced gender-based violence. Meanwhile, programmes to end child marriage reached 2.5 million girls, and 300,000 women and girls accessed programmes to prevent or address female genital mutilation.
In line with the SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS, UNFPA is committed to ending gender-based violence and harmful practices by 2030.

More than a decade ago, the insurgent group Boko Haram began its reign of terror in northeastern Nigeria, forcing millions of people to flee their homes and settle in camps for internally displaced persons (IDP). In response, in collaboration with local host communities and the Government of Nigeria, UNFPA has established integrated safe space centres where women and young people can develop healing and restorative coping mechanisms, acquire needed reproductive health services, and rebuild their lives from the trauma they have experienced.

Since the conflict erupted, UNFPA has established 37 safe spaces across the region, offering medical and clinical care, including maternal health care; mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS); and livelihood skills training. Participants also learn about health, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, women’s rights and sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services like family planning and menstrual hygiene. “All our safe spaces across IDP and host communities are equipped to facilitate safety and a conducive environment for IDPs to socialize, rebuild their social networks, create new networks and have peace of mind,” says Dr. Midala Usman Balami, UNFPA’s humanitarian analyst in Borno state. “It takes away some of the pain and suffering,” he says.

If they manage to escape, they are further traumatized when ostracized by their communities. All crisis-affected women, even if not survivors of abduction, face heightened risk of gender-based violence, such as child marriage and beatings at the hands of their husbands.
