The 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence is an annual international campaign that kicks off on 25 November, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, and runs until 10 December, Human Rights Day.
For communities
Be an activist against GBV in your homes, communities, work and positions:
Challenge cultures and practices that perpetuate gender inequalities and consequent abuse of women and children at personal and societal level.
Violence against women continues to occur at an alarming scale in every country in the world. Too often it is accepted as normal behaviour and the global culture of discrimination against women allows violence to occur with impunity.
