The UN has designated November 25 as the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women.
To increase awareness of this, famous buildings around the world are lit up with an orange color that should symbolize light, optimism and a world free from violence against women.

18,000 employees must be aware of the problem, says Mohamad Hassan (L), chairman of the Gender Equality Council.
