We strive for gender justice at all levels. This is achieved when all people can lead a life free from discrimination, regardless of their gender and sexual orientation.<\/strong><\/h3>\nHowever, gender-based violence is more widespread worldwide than many people think. According to current data, almost one in three women have experienced physical and\/or sexualized violence from a partner or another person in their lifetime. The situation is also serious in Switzerland: studies show that around one in five women has experienced sexual violence.\nThese forms of violence permeate all social strata and living environments, with manifestations ranging from devaluation and harassment to psychological violence and even rape or feminicide (the killing of a woman because of her gender).\nAgainst this backdrop, we at Mission 21, together with partner organizations in Africa, Asia and Latin America, are strongly committed to combating sexualized violence against women and would like to raise awareness of this issue as part of the annual 16-day campaign <strong data-start=\"1259\" data-end=\"1300\">from November 25 to December 10<\/strong> <strong>2025<\/strong> to strengthen the prevention of violence, make the facts more visible and offer targeted support and protection.\nThis year, the campaign will focus in particular on <strong data-start=\"1463\" data-end=\"1512\">Women and queer people with disabilities<\/strong> - especially those who are dependent on support. Studies show: This group is two to four times more likely to be exposed to violence, abuse of power, control and neglect. We are therefore focusing on a highly vulnerable but often less visible target group.\n<p><strong>\u25ba Follow us on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/gender.mission21\/profilecard\/?igsh=MTQxeWJreXA3czdwYg==\">Instagram<\/a>, on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/mission21basel\/\">Facebook<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/690808\/\">Linkedin<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>\n\t\t\tWe asked our employees why the 16 Days campaign is important to them and how they are committed to gender equality.
