global 16 days of activism

Join us in supporting the Global 16 Days of Activism!


What is the Campaign?

“The Global 16 Days Campaign works toward the elimination of GBV by drawing attention to the persistence of GBV worldwide and the binding legal obligation of states to end it. It aims to increase awareness of GBV, ensure prevention, and demand accountability for ending gender-based violence and discrimination in all spheres. The campaign is underpinned by feminist values, human rights principles and the belief that a world without violence is possible” (Global 16 Days Campaign, 2022).
