Today is the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women.

This day is not only about remembrance — it’s about action, awareness, and prevention. As nurses, we have a unique view of the devastating physical and emotional toll of gender-based violence. We are committed to providing trauma-informed care, supporting survivors, and advocating for change.

Together, we can help end violence against women.
