16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence

The 16 Days of Activism campaign calls for action against one of the world’s most persistent violations of human rights: violence against women. During the campaign -- which commences on 25-November for the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women (IDEVAW) -- people around the world unite to raise awareness about gender-based violence, challenge discriminatory attitudes and call for improved laws and services to end violence against women for good.

Culminating on 10-December for International Human Rights Day, the campaign advocates for a future where human rights are enjoyed by everyone, everywhere. When harmful stereotypes and structural inequities are eliminated, everyone can thrive and we will all benefit from our diversity.
