16 DAYS OF ACTIVISM

25th November - 10th December 2023

This year, the theme for the 16 Days of Activism against gender-based violence is Invest to Prevent Violence against Women & Girls.
The annual campaign runs from the 25th of November until the 10th of December. This year we have invited 16 women (researchers, survivors and advocates) from our wider network to write blogs or record audio-blogs for each of the 16 days, which we will post below starting on the 25th of November. Please join us in our shared goal of raising awareness on violence against women.
