16 Days of Activism Against Gender Violence Posted November 10th 2009
KIND marks 16 Days of Activism Against Gender Violence from November 25th – December 10th 2009.
The 16 Days of Activism Against Gender violence campaign uses the 16 days between International Day for the Elimination of violence against women (25 November) and International Human Rights Day (10 December) to reinforce that eliminating all forms of violence against women is a human rights issue and that the act of perpetrating violence against women is a Human Rights violation. The 16 days Campaign brings the human rights framework to the heart of its work and utilizes it to ensure that both state and non-state actors are held accountable for acts of violence against women.
This year’s theme is: COMMIT. ACT. DEMAND: We CAN End Violence Against Women!
