The 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence is an annual international campaign that kicks off on 25 November.
Dubbed as the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, it runs until December 10, Human Rights Day.
The campaign was started by activists at the inauguration of the Women’s Global Leadership Institute in 1991.
It is used as an organizing strategy by individuals and organizations around the world to call for the prevention and elimination of violence against women and girls.
