The Global Initiative “16 Days of Activism against Gender Violence” was marked in Belgrade by announcing joint activities of the Gender Equality Coordination Body of the Government of Serbia and UN Team with regards to the International Day of the Elimination of Violence against Women.

The Vice-President of the Government Coordination Body Zorana Mihajlović said that 33 women were killed in family violence in Serbia in 2015 and that every victim of family violence is everyone’s responsibility.
