Numerous activities and events are organized worldwide, ranging from marches marking the launch of the campaign to symbolic buildings illuminated in orange, and from awareness hashtags to online seminars on violence. The campaign aims to raise global awareness and foster solidarity to end all forms of violence against women and girls, while promoting equality and safety.
This year’s theme focuses on forms of technology-facilitated digital violence. Women are now faced with new forms of violence such as online harassment, image-based abuse, cyberbullying, threats, AI-generated deepfakes, and doxing. In recent years, many women have witnessed their social media posts being turned into AI-generated deepfake content without their consent. A single photo, moment, or smile can be transformed into a distorted image within seconds.
Digital violence is not only a threat to personal safety, but also an infringement on freedom of expression and the right to privacy. While AI-generated content undermines women’s visibility in digital spaces, it also leads to severe consequences such as reputational damage, blackmail, and psychological trauma. Through the “UNiTE to End Digital Violence against All Women and Girls” campaign, running from 25 November to 10 December, the United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women (UN Women) and the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) emphasize that digital safety is central to gender equality.
This is not a matter of “technology”, it is a fundamental human rights issue. Let’s raise our voices together so that women can exist freely, safely, and equally in the digital world.
Online Awareness Seminar for Women’s Digital Safety
The Association for Social Development and Aid Mobilization (ASAM) has been working for years with unwavering commitment and dedication to protecting women’s rights and empowering women. Our association conducts awareness-raising campaigns, capacity-building trainings, women safe spaces, and rights-based advocacy activities to empower women in the economic, social, psychological, and digital spheres. These activities aim to foster solidarity by directly touching the lives of thousands of women.
We will be organizing an online awareness seminar in collaboration with Sisterslab on 5 December 2025, as part of the 16 Days of Activism campaign. The event will be held under the projects implemented in partnership with UNFPA and UNICEF, and its main theme, aligned with the global campaign, will be to end digital violence.
This online seminar will contribute to the “awareness-raising” objectives of both our programs. It will aim to identify the forms of violence women and girls face in digital spaces, create rights-based awareness, and promote safe practices on digital platforms.
The seminar will include short presentations discussing the relationship between technology and gender, experience-sharing, and interactive Q&A sessions. This event will be an important step in fostering solidarity against digital violence and raising public awareness.
