Across the country, the Ministry is raising awareness, strengthening prevention, and expanding support for families experiencing gender-based violence.
Actions include:
* National and municipal flag raising ceremonies – standing together in solidarity with survivors.
* Marches and community mobilization events – bringing visibility to the issue in every municipality.
* Public consultations and community dialogues – giving the public a voice in shaping stronger protection laws.
* Gender-based violence awareness sessions – reaching youth, parents, workplaces, and community groups.
* Support service outreach booths – connecting families with real resources and trained professionals.
* Partnership building with civil society, municipalities, and organizations committed to prevention and protection.
* And most importantly, the introduction of the Domestic Violence Act Amendment to Parliament, a major step toward strengthening legal protections and ensuring survivors receive the justice and safety they deserve.
“These 16 Days are more than a campaign , they’re a commitment to building safer homes, stronger families, and a Belize where no one suffers in silence,” the Ministry said.
