Orange the World

In Mongolia, UNFPA holds "Orange Sessions," where artists and young people gather to explore creative new ways to end violence against women. Part of the annual 16 Days of Activism against Gender-based Violence, these sessions have inspired "Orange the World" a song and music video calling for unity in the campaign against gender-based violence.
