The United Nations commemorated the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women with a high-level event at UN headquarters in New York on 24 November 2009. UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon launched a Network of Men Leaders to end violence against women, and a roundtable discussion tackled the challenge of involving men and boys in combatting this scourge that plagues up to 70 percent of women and girls in their lifetime.

  • I was there, actually my professor was the moderator for this event, Pamela Falk and she was the moderator. I am the person briefly shown on 1:25:58. anyway one of the questions which came to my mind was how would we change centuries of patriarchal attitudes, especially in countries when gender violence is part of the social and cultural norm?
