November 25th is the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women. This day marks the start of the annual campaign organized by UN Women - "Orange the World - 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence against Women and Girls", symbolized by the orange color.
The Embassy of the Czech Republic in Beijing also joined the campaign, as did the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Prague and many Czech embassies and general consulates around the world. The buildings of the Czech ministry and embassies were lit up in orange on November 25th.
Diplomats from the Czech Embassy in Beijing also took part in the "Orange the World" event on the premises of the Delegation of the European Union in Beijing, where they hung their messages of support for victims of violence on orange plaques on a tree.
