UNFPA Jordan marked the International Women’s Day #iwd2023 through promoting the protection of women’s rights on technology-facilitated spaces, in a campaign entitled “Making All Spaces Safe” #SafeSpaces. On this occasion; a range of activities were implemented to raise awareness, including a social media campaign, leveraging mass media outlets and engaging the community highlighting the importance of tackling TF GBV, by amplifying the communities’ voices and promoting their rights in the virtual spaces.

Moreover, and as co-chairs of the GBV SWG, UNFPA and UNHCR conducted a space session to discuss TF-GBV on twitter with more than 300 users tuning in to the session. GBV SWG has also marked the day in different locations (Zaatari& Azraq Camps, Irbid and Mafraq) through community-engaging activates and joint events to raise awareness of TF GBV & its forms, and how to protect women and girls’ right in all spaces, to make all spaces safe.
