For the third year in a row, the Chamber of Deputies commemorated the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women with a programme of activities as follows:

A banner on the International Day was posted on the Chamber’s website. It contained links to IPU documentation and the 2011 poster. The banner carried notes on the electronic daily newspaper and State-owned radio stations on activities related to the international campaign to end violence against women.

On Thursday 24 November, each man and women MP was presented with a set of IPU posters, as well as a white ribbon, which is the symbol of the international campaign to end violence against Women.

On Thursday 24 and Friday 25 November, guides from the Protocol Division handed out to visitors to the parliament posters, flyers and white ribbons in a bid to heighten awareness about this social ill.

The Chamber of Deputies TV station produced a special programme to mark the International Day hosted by journalist Carolina Jiménez.
