16 Days of Activism against Gender-based Violence runs from 25 November to 10 December annually.

The international campaign was started by the Women’s Global Leadership Institute in 1991. It begins each year on the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women and runs until Human Rights Day.

The aim is to call for the prevention and elimination of violence against women and girls.

For the past few years, the theme for the campaign has focused on ‘ending femicide’ and this year’s global theme is “UNITE! Invest to prevent violence against women and girls”.
