SKOPJE/VIENNA/WARSAW, 25 November 2023 - Launching the 16 Days of Activism against Gender-based Violence, OSCE leaders called on participating States to step up their efforts to eliminate violence against women and girls, end impunity and support survivors.

OSCE leaders stressed that more needs to be done to ensure that women and girls are guaranteed their most fundamental right to safety.
