"Gender violence and gender inequality is not just a women's issue. It's also a man's issue. It's not just because we have mothers, wives, sisters and daughters. We're here because it's a human rights issue and we are all human beings," Farhan said in a message.

One pebble thrown in a pond = a ripple A thousand = a splash A million = a wave A billion = a level field Every voice counts. @UN_Women
