The Campaign: #GBVdisruptor

In Türkiye, one in three women experience physical or sexual violence at least once in their lifetime. Everyone has a responsibility to end this fundamental human rights violation. UNFPA Türkiye calls on everyone to take action and become a #GBVDISRUPTOR by asking; HOW ARE YOU DISRUPTING GENDER-BASED VIOLENCE?

As part of the 16 Days of Activism, starting from November 25, the International Day for Elimination of Violence Against Women, UNFPA is launching the “I am a #GBVDisruptor” social media campaign to turn words and commitments into amplified actions to end gender-based violence (GBV) and accelerate the ICPD commitments so that every woman and girl can live a life free of violence in every space they occupy.

To achieve maximum outreach and sustain the movement, UNFPA calls on everyone; colleagues, partners, civil society, international community, private sector, academia, media, influencers, youth, decision makers to join the campaign by sharing how they are taking actions to disrupt gender-based violence in their environments with a 30-second video on their social media starting /ending their message with:

“I Am A #GBVDisruptor.”

Join our collective voice

As the UN agency with the largest on-the-ground interventions protecting and responding to gender-based violence, UNFPA recognizes that actions are needed by all of us. Accordingly, the #GBVdisruptor campaign aims to highlight that everyone, within their capacity, has a role in ending GBV and can become a change maker by showcasing their work as advocates, activists, policymakers, professionals, fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, etc. By amplifying our voices and inviting others to do the same, our messages will contribute to a groundswell of disruptors moving from awareness and activism to accountability and commitment to act on all forms of GBV as human rights abuses and bring GBV to ZERO by 2030.

To achieve maximum outreach and sustain the movement, stakeholders including staff, partners, CSOs, UN agencies, media, influencers, youth, faith leaders etc. will be encouraged to engage the campaign through social media by posting a 30-second to 1-minute video on their social media sharing what they do or how they intend to disrupt the cycle of GBV and ending their message with: “I Am A #GBVDisruptor” during the 16 days of activism. They will talk about why they are against violence, how and why violence should be disrupted, what they do to disrupt violence (with some personal experiences) and how women and girls can be strengthened.
