The “Orange the World” campaign

The “Orange the World” campaign, which has taken place annually since 2015, aims to raise awareness of the serious human rights violations that violence against women and girls represents. During this time, buildings around the world are illuminated in orange, sending a clearly visible message against this violence. This initiative for an important cause is part of the commitment to remove taboos and actively combat violence against women noen.at.

The campaign has its origins in 1991, when the US Center for Women’s Global Leadership launched the “16 Days of Activism Against Gender Violence”. The impact of these 16 days is felt worldwide as they are used to highlight the extent of violence and its many facets and to draw attention to the fundamental human rights violations that women and girls endure every day. This movement is supported by numerous organizations that advocate for the rights and protection of women.
