Fellow Africans,
As in previous years, this November 25, we celebrate the International Day dedicated to the fight against all forms of gender-based violence, that is to say violence of which women and girls - who are also our mothers, our wives, our sisters and our children- are regularly subjected to.
In accordance with a well-established tradition, this commemoration will continue through a global awareness-raising campaign. It will last until December 10, 2021, another symbolic date dedicated to the celebration of human rights.
