16 Days of Activism
Against Gender-Based Violence 

The international campaign was started by the Women’s Global Leadership Institute in 1991. It begins each year on the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women and runs until Human Rights Day.

The aim is to call for the prevention and elimination of violence against women and girls.

Internationally, UN Women, has chosen the theme.

‘Every 10 minutes, a woman is killed. #NoExcuse. UNiTE to End Violence against Women.’

Violence against women and girls remains one of the most prevalent and pervasive human rights violations in the world and one in three women have been subjected to physical and sexual intimate partner violence, non-partner sexual violence, or both, at least once in their life.

We need to hold perpetrators accountable, and bring action through well-resourced national strategies and increased funding to women’s rights movements.

Locally, UN Women Australia is spreading the message of ‘Safe. Everywhere. Always.’

A woman should be safe no matter where she is, what she’s doing or what she’s wearing. Violence against women doesn’t just happen in the home behind closed doors, it happens everywhere, and it takes on many forms.
