Special panel on Violence against women and girls
Violence against women and girls is a serious violation of human rights. It is also a public health concern with significant impact on the health of women, children and families. As per the recent VAWG study, more than two in every five women (44.6%) in Bhutan have experienced one or more forms of partner violence in their lifetime, be it physical, sexual, psychological or economic. The situation has been further exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Tune in to BBS tonight to view a special panel discussion comprised of Hon. Lyonpo Tandi Dorjii, Chairperson, NCWC;
Ms. Azusa Kubuta, Resident Representative, UNDP Bhutan Office;
Ms. Kunzang Lhamu, Director, National Commission for Women and Children; and
Mr. Tshering Dolkar, Interim Executive Director, RENEW. The panel discussion will raise awareness on the increase of violence against women and girls particularly during the pandemic, responses rendered by organizations in the country, challenges and lessons learnt, and plans and policies to address/sustain/improve efforts on VAW/G in the country.
25th November is commemorated every year all around the world as the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women.
