Gdz Elektrik Illuminated the Streets in Orange to Draw Attention to Violence Against Women

Adm and Gdz Elektrik illuminated the streets orange to raise awareness in the "End Violence Against Women Campaign" of the United Nations Women (UN Women), which will start from November 25 and continue until December 10, Human Rights Day.

He participated in a 16-day activism campaign that will continue until today. Adm and Gdz Elektrik showed that they are not indifferent to violence against women by illuminating the streets designated at their service points with orange. Adm and Gdz Elektrik, focusing on efforts to ensure gender equality with an equal life approach, drew attention to violence against women during the campaign by coloring the electricity poles orange and illuminating the streets in orange.

Why Color Orange?

After the World Health Organization declared violence against women a "global epidemic" in 2014, United Nations Women launched a 16-day activism campaign against violence against women. During the campaign, orange-themed activities representing a world free of violence against women are organized every year under the slogan "Paint the World Orange" in order to draw attention to not remaining indifferent and making a voice against violence. Individuals and institutions that use the color orange, which symbolizes light and hope, during the campaign support awareness raising efforts against violence against women.
