The 2023 International Day for the Elimination of Sexual Violence in Conflict themed, “Bridging the gender digital divide to prevent, address and respond to conflict-related sexual violence” aims to highlight how access to technology and digital resources *play* a significant role in empowering individuals, particularly women and girls, and promoting their safety and well-being in conflict-affected areas.
The theme also emphasizes the collaborative efforts required to support survivors, enhance prevention strategies, educate communities about the devastating impacts of sexual violence and raise awareness about the persistent issue of sexual violence during times of conflict and advocate for its eradication.
Ultimately, today’s commemoration is geared *towards* galvanizing governments, organizations, and individuals to work together and intensify their efforts towards building a world free from sexual violence, where the rights and dignity of all are protected.
