Resources - Framework for Action
On 25 February 2008, the UN Secretary-General launched the Campaign UNiTE to End Violence against Women, 2008-2015, with the overall objective of raising public awareness and increasing political will and resources for preventing and responding to all forms of violence against women and girls – in all parts of the world. The Framework for Action provides an overall “umbrella” for the efforts to be undertaken at global, regional, national and local levels. It identifies five key outcomes as benchmarks for the Campaign, to be achieved in all countries by 2015, and outlines a UN Programme of Activities and expected Outputs.
A Communications Plan, to be expanded over time, lays out a framework for communications in support of the Campaign at both the global and regional/national levels, including initial tools and opportunities for 2008-2009.
