Communities in the Great Dyke have been challenged to play their part in ensuring the fight against Gender-Based Violence goes beyond the 16 days and is a 365-day campaign that protects all.
Bethany Project Director, Rebecca Gumbo, said this year’s theme: Unite, Activism to end Violence against women and girls” invites everyone to play their role and resist the role back against women’s rights.
The 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence is an annual international campaign that kicks off on 25 November, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, and runs until 10 December, Human Rights Day.
The campaign was started by activists at the inauguration of the Women’s Global Leadership Institute in 1991.
