Furthermore, it still remains largely unreported due to the impunity, silence, stigma and shame surrounding it. The International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women is observed to promote public awareness about gender-based violence issues. It is also a day to spread awareness about how this gender-based violence manifests itself in physical, sexual and psychological forms. The United Nations hopes to raise awareness about the adverse consequences of VAWG for women of all ages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>International Day For The Elimination Of Violence Against Women: History<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1979, the United Nations General Assembly adopted the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW). Yet violence against women and girls is a problem that can still be seen worldwide. To tackle this issue, the General Assembly issued resolution 48\/104, to lay the foundation of a world free of gender-based violence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since 1981, November 25 has been recognised as a day to raise awareness about gender-based violence. This date honours the Mirabal sisters, three political activists from the Dominican Republic who were brutally murdered on the order of former President Rafael Trujillo in 1960.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On December 20, 1993, the General Assembly adopted Resolution 48\/104, which included the Declaration on the Elimination of Violence Against Women.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gkseries.com\/blog\/rajendra-pawar-honoured-lifetime-achievement-award-2022-by-ficci\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Rajendra Pawar honoured Lifetime Achievement Award 2022 by FICCI<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gkseries.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Rajendra-Pawar-honoured-Lifetime-Achievement-Award-2022-by-FICCI.jpg\" alt=\"Rajendra Pawar honoured Lifetime Achievement Award 2022 by FICCI\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Lifetime Achievement Award 2022:<\/strong> The Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce &amp; Industry (FICCI), felicitated Rajendra Singh Pawar, Chairman &amp; Founder, NIIT with \u2018Lifetime Achievement Award 2022\u2019 at the 8th FICCI Higher Education Excellence Awards ceremony held in the capital on November 17, 2022.
