16 days of activism against Gender Based Violence (GBV) is a civil society – led campaign which was started by Centre for Women Global Leadership in 1991. Every year, civil society organizations, government, independent media houses, and other institutions call for collective action to end GBV through engaging with different campaign strategies. This year, the campaign’s theme designed by UN Women is: “UNiTE! Activism to end violence against women and girls.” Principles of the theme include honoring and acknowledging women’s movements, leaving no one behind, using a survivor-centered approach that is multi-sectoral and transformative, elevating the voices of young feminists, and using the color orange as a source of unity across campaign messaging.
