About
the 16 Days Campaign
The
“16
Days of Activism against Gender Violence” campaign originated
in 1991 as an initiative of the Center
for Women's Global Leadership at Rutgers University. Since then,
hundreds of organisations worldwide have used the campaign as an
organising strategy in order to advocate the elimination of all
forms of violence against women.
The
campaign spans important observance days:
International Day Against Violence against Women (25 November)
International Women
Human Rights Defenders Day (29 November)
World
AIDS Day (1 December)
International Human
Rights Day (10 December). |
