Kham Kong Run: Against Gender-based Violence 2023

Over 1,200 runners, including representatives from UN Women and local communities, laced up their shoes on a crisp Sunday morning for the Kham Kong Run, a free 5K race across the iconic Thai-Laos Friendship Bridge. The event, organized by the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) Thailand, UN Women Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific, and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Thailand, was a powerful display of solidarity in the fight against gender-based violence.

At 7:00 in the morning, runners of all ages and abilities took off. Among them were survivors of gender-based violence, running for their own strength and to inspire others, knowing they had taken a step towards a brighter future free from violence.

Date: 3 December 2023

Location: 4th Thai-Lao Friendship Bridge checkpoint, Chiang Khong-Huai Sai, Chiang Khong District, Chiang Rai Province, Thailand

The 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence is an annual campaign that begins on 25 November, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, and runs through International Human Rights Day on 10 December.

Led by civil society, the campaign is supported by the United Nations through the Secretary General’s UNiTE by 2030 to End Violence against Women initiative. In 2023 we are asking governments, institutions, and citizens to show us how much the world cares about ending violence against women and girls under the theme "UNITE! Invest to prevent violence against women and girls".
