Report on the event held in support of the “16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence” campaign

On December 2, 2025, in the lobby of the 2nd floor of the Faculty of International Relations at Al-Farabi KazNU, an event dedicated to the global campaign “16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence” was held. The initiative was organized by the Academic regional resource center for information support about the UN at the Faculty of International Relations of Al-Farabi KazNU.

The aim of the event was to draw students’ attention to the issue of gender-based violence, increase awareness of its forms and methods of prevention, as well as to encourage youth to engage actively in promoting the principles of non-violence, equality, and solidarity.

Participants had the opportunity to express their thoughts and personal attitudes towards the issue of gender-based violence, emphasizing the importance of awareness among young people. In addition, volunteers took part in recording a short video with the slogan “We are against violence towards women,” which will be published on the official Instagram page of the Center — @un_kaznu — in support of the campaign.

Each participant also received an orange ribbon — the international symbol of the fight against gender-based violence. Along with this, mini snickers bars were distributed, adding a warm and friendly spirit to the event.

The event was held in a positive atmosphere, attracted considerable attention from students, and became a meaningful contribution of the Center to the support of the global initiative “16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence.” Also the active members of the Center — Zholdasbek Raziya, Seysebaev Kamil, and Rakhmanova Milana— made a significant contribution to the organization and implementation of the campaign.
