As part the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women on 25 November our firm, along with other offices in our neighbourhood, organised a flashmob, comprising 300 people, to form the international symbol of women on the square outside our offices on 23 November.
The co-organisers and participants included Axa Assurances, Clifford Chance, Notaire Delvaux, Elisabeth, Elvinger Hoss Prussen, the Embassy of Germany, the Embassy of the United Kingdom, the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Equal Opportunities, the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, Swedbank and Zonta international (Luxembourg branch).
The International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, launched by the United Nations marks the start of a 16-day period of activism against gender-based violence and concludes with the International Human Rights Day on 10 December.
In addition to the flashmob our firm is illuminating one of our buildings in orange during the entire campaign.
The Declaration on the Elimination of Violence Against Women issued by the UN General Assembly in 1993, defines violence against women as “any act of gender-based violence that results in, or is likely to result in, physical, sexual or psychological harm or suffering to women, including threats of such acts, coercion or arbitrary deprivation of liberty, whether occurring in public or in private life.”
