Fienta supports the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women

November 25 is the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women. The day is marked around the world with the colour orange, and everyone is invited to show solidarity and help raise awareness by wearing orange.

Orange as a symbol of a future without violence

In Estonia, 50 buildings and landmarks in major cities will be lit up in orange. Turning our homepage orange extends this visual action from public space into the digital environment and helps raise awareness of the day in a broader way.

Our homepage is visited daily by thousands of ticket buyers from around the world, which gives us an opportunity to help spread the message not only in Estonia, but internationally.

The role of men in preventing intimate partner violence

From 25 November to 10 December, Estonia will host “orange conversations” led by the President Kaljulaid Foundation, focusing on the prevention and elimination of intimate partner violence. This year, the discussions will centre on the role of men in preventing intimate partner violence.

The Orange Conversations programme will conclude on 10 December, International Human Rights Day, when Estonian men will stand in front of Parliament from sunrise to sunset and read summaries of police reports related to intimate partner violence.
