Nortreus says he supports the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, designed by the United Nations General Assembly.

He urges for an end to violence against innocent black and white girls and women across the world as countries celebrate it from November 25th to December 10th each year.

According to the United Nations, hundreds of thousands of girls and women are raped or killed each year. Violence against women and girls remains one of the most prevalent and pervasive human rights violations in the world.

Globally, an estimated 736 million women — almost one in three — have been subjected to physical and/or sexual intimate partner violence, non-partner sexual violence, or both, at least once in their lives.

On November 27th, 2023, Nortreus said he supported the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women as he called for an end to violence against innocent black and white girls and women across the world.

“I am urging an end to violence against innocent black and white girls and women across the world on the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women. As men, we must do everything in our power to stop the killings of innocent women across the world. I strongly support the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women designed by the United Nations General Assembly. In Haiti, where I am from, a lot of innocent black girls and women are getting raped and killed by men every day, and such behavior needs to stop. Let's not tolerate that. I am urging innocent girls and women who are victims to speak up. Also, I am urging men who love to do that to stop doing that,” Nortreus said on Monday, November 27th, 2023 on ending violence against innocent women across the world.

According to multiple sources, people across the world have marked the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, demanding greater action. There are multiple protests and rallies across the world for such a day.
