According to a statement by the NCW, the orange color represents a future that is free from all forms of violence against women worldwide. Throughout the campaign, iconic buildings and monuments around the world are lit up in orange to raise awareness of the cause. Violence against women also has a great impact on the economic, social, political, and cultural aspects of a community, whether it be local or international, she added. “Violence against women and girls continues to be a global phenomenon that not only has negative consequences for women but also their families, communities, and nations. But violence against women and girls can be overcome with our joint efforts, investments, and voice,” said Christine Arab, UN Women Egypt Country Representative.
