November 25 is International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women. As part of the celebration of this day, from November 25 to December 10, the international information campaign called “16 Days of Active Action” will be run. The main objective of the campaign is to focus the public attention on combating violence against women.

This year, Uzbekistan adopted historic laws in support of women. These include the law “On Guaranteeing Equal Rights and Opportunities for Women and Men”, as well as the law "On the Protection of Women from Harassment and Violence".
