The 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence is an international campaign that has been running annually since 1991. It takes place between the 25^th of November, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, and the 10^th of December, Human Rights Day.

 

The aim of the campaign is to raise awareness, challenge societal norms and advocate for an end to gender-based violence. Through the promotion of various initiatives, the campaign encourages everyone to contribute to the fight against harassment, discrimination and abuse, and create a world where we can all live without fear of violence, regardless of gender. This is a great opportunity for us all to reflect on our role in fostering a safer and more inclusive environment.

 

There are many ways we can get involved, from learning about the different types of gender-based violence to participating in events, engaging in discussions and raising awareness of the issue. By challenging stereotypes and behaviours, we can encourage positive relationships and contribute to shape a better culture and environment.

 

Our actions on campus can be an example for broader societal change, influencing not only our peers but also the people around us.
