The Global 16 Days Campaign is an organizing strategy for individuals and groups around the world to call for the elimination of all forms of gender-based violence against women and to:

  • raise awareness about gender-based violence against women as a human rights issue at the local, national, regional and international levels
  • strengthen local work around gender-based violence against women
  • establish a clear link between local and international work to end gender-based violence against women
  • provide a forum in which organizers can develop and share new and effective strategies
  • demonstrate the solidarity of women around the world organizing against gender-based violence against women
  • create tools to pressure governments to implement commitments to eliminate gender-based violence against women

What we are doing: Hosting guest speakers from women’s, 2SLGBTQI+ and/or Indigenous organizations to talk about the challenges facing victims/survivors of gender-based violence, as well as the programs and resources available, followed by a question-and-answer period during the presentation.

Trigger warning: Some of the topics discussed at this gathering may be emotionally challenging or triggering. Topics will include violence, femicide, MMIWG, and racism.
