16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence: social media campaign

Each year, from 25 November to World Human Rights Day on 10 December, the 16 Days of Activism campaign calls for action against one of the world’s most persistent violations of human rights – violence against women.

Friday 25 November 2022 is the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women and marks day one of the 16 Days of Activism.

During the campaign, people around the world will unite to raise awareness about gender-based violence, challenge discriminatory attitudes and call for improved laws and services to end violence against women for good.

From the Our Watch Change the Story campaign, DVAC created a suite of posts addressing the drivers of violence against women, facts about the impact of gender-based violence, and actions that may prevent future violence against women from happening.
