| As noted in a major report
issued by the UN Secretary-General, all forms of violence against
women represent an unacceptable violations of human rights and
together they form a major impediment to gender equality. |
This campaign has been launched
following the adoption of the Solemn Declaration on Gender Equality
in Africa (SDGEA), signed by representatives of the member states
of the African Union during the third common session of the Conference,
which was held in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, from 6th to 8th July
2004.
The "Gender
is my Agenda" Campaign aims to bring greater attention
to violence against women, a pervasive and deeply entrenched
human rights violation.
