The colour orange symbolises hope for a future free from violence, fear, and discrimination.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cViolence against women and girls undermines families, weakens communities, and erodes national development. It affects physical and mental health, limits educational and economic opportunities, and perpetuates inequality across generations. The active engagement of men and boys as partners, allies, and advocates for positive change is essential to challenge harmful norms, promote respectful relationships, and foster safe families and communities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAddressing this issue is not only a moral imperative \u2013 it is a social, economic, and developmental necessity. Today\u2019s observance sets the tone for the year ahead, reinforcing the need for continuous prevention, protection, and support. As we begin 2025, this Orange Day also invites reflection as we look forward to International Women\u2019s Day on March 8. Celebrating women\u2019s achievements must go hand in hand with strengthening efforts to ensure the safety, dignity, and equality of women and girls in all spaces.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Ministry of Social Affairs, Family and Equality remains committed to working with partners, communities, and families to prevent violence, support survivors, and promote a culture of respect and equality.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn this Orange Day, we encourage everyone to wear orange, speak out against violence, support those affected, and take action \u2013 because a future free from violence is a responsibility we all share.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>Pamela Charlette<\/b><br \/>\n<b>Minister for Social Affairs, Family and Equality<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Caption:<\/p>\n<p>Minister Charlette<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Seychelles<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Seychelles. \u2018Speak out against violence, support those affected, and take action\u2019 \u201cToday, Seychelles joins the global community in marking the first Orange Day of the year, reaffirming our national commitment to ending all forms of violence against women and girls. \u201cObserved on the 25th of every month under the UNiTE to End Violence [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":84,"featured_media":44685,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,3],"tags":[233],"class_list":["post-44686","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-all-news","category-community","tag-seychelles"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.1 (Yoast SEO v27.0) -
