16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence

UNiTE to End Violence Against Women and Girls: Ensure justice, protect survivors, end impunity.

Unite with our community and join us throughout the 25th November to 10th December 2026

The 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence is an international campaign calling for action to prevent and eliminate violence against women and girls.

The campaign begins on 25 November, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, and concludes on 10 December, Human Rights Day. These 16 days provide an opportunity for communities, organisations and individuals around the world to raise awareness of gender-based violence, promote gender equality and take action to help prevent violence before it occurs.

Violence against women is preventable. Creating lasting change means addressing the gender inequality, attitudes, behaviours and social conditions that contribute to violence, while building communities where equality, safety and respect are expected and supported.
