16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence 2024

We all deserve to be safe, equal and respected. More than 1 in 3 women have experienced men’s violence. Safety for women is not a given in any community – and neither is respect. It doesn’t have to be this way.

The 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence is a global campaign led annually by UN Women. It runs every year from 25 November (the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women) to 10 December (Human Rights Day).

During the 16 Days of Activism, communities around the world join the call to prevent and eliminate violence against women and girls. Organisations, local council, workplaces, sports clubs and other community groups are encouraged to help change the culture that drives violence against women by hosting events that spark conversation and educate on important topics.
