16 Days of Activism Against Gender Based Violence

The 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence is an annual global campaign led by members of the civil society to combat violence against women and children. Beginning on November 25, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, and concluding on December 10, Human Rights Day, the campaign emphasizes that violence against women and girls is one of the most widespread violations of human rights.
The inaugural Women's Global Leadership Institute, it has since mobilized individuals, organizations, and global entities like the United Nations to advocate for the eradication of violence against women and girls. The campaign aims to raise awareness about the profound impact of violence and abuse on women and children while striving for a society free from all forms of abuse.
