Violence Mirrors Us Un Marking 16 Days Of Anti-GBV Activism

The period is internationally recognised as a call to action to end the destructive impact of gender-based violence (GBV) on women and girls. The aim of the period is to bring together individuals, movements, governments as well as civil society institutions, to raise awareness on violence and abuse of women, to call for the prevention of said violence, as well as to rid society of abuse, permanently.

The theme for this years’ 16 days of activism is targeted at bridging the gaps and ensuring the provision, access and availability of essential services for survivors of violence, during the global pandemic. The theme further calls for urgent actions to fund, respond to and prevent as well as collect data to address GBV.
