What is 16 Days of Activism?

16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence is a global campaign operating at a local, regional, national and international level to end gender-based violence. It is not a single event but rather a movement – a collective of initiatives demonstrating the solidarity of gender-based violence activists worldwide. Check out the information booklet below for more information.
