C&W Joins Global Efforts for 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence

C&W Communications, the operators of Flow, Flow Business, C&W Business and BTC, has reaffirmed its commitment to fostering gender equality and supporting efforts to combat gender-based violence (GBV) as it joins the global movement for the United Nations’ 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence.

Marking the world’s approach to the 30th anniversary of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action in 2025, the 16 Days of Activism provides a powerful opportunity to reinvigorate commitments, call for accountability, and drive meaningful action to address violence against women and girls.

“We believe every individual has the right to live and work in a safe environment, free from violence and fear,” said Inge Smidts, Chief Executive Officer of C&W Communications. Launched by parent company Liberty Latin America, the company introduced a comprehensive GBV Policy which delivers assistance to impacted employees, including counselling and, in extreme cases,
relocation to another country for their safety and well-being.

“Our commitment extends beyond raising awareness; it is about taking real, actionable steps to protect, empower, and create safe spaces for everyone, particularly women and girls, within our communities and workplaces. Together, we can drive the change needed to eliminate violence and foster equality for generations to come,” said Smidts. The 16 Days of Activism Against Gender
Based Violence is observed annually between November 25 and December 10.
