#16DaysOfDiscontent - Day 16: The overall picture
We answered this question from a range of vantage points both to illustrate the multifaceted nature of responses needed to comprehensively address the problem of violence against women, as well as to show that there is no one solution that will magically address the problem overnight. In 16 days we could also not exhaust all dimensions of violence against women and so the Campaign will continue in the new year, using a range of different formats.
We conclude, for the moment, by presenting an overall summary of the 16 Days of Discontent. While some good work is being done, most implementation of programmes, laws and policies is below average and marked by delays. As a result the potential effectiveness of interventions is undermined and violence enabled. Insufficient attention is also being paid to those who experience multiple forms of discrimination such as women and children with disabilities.
