This campaign aims to draw attention to the horrific rise of violence against women and girls, as well as hold perpetrators accountable to end and prevent this violence.

As we observe the 2024 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence, it is crucial to reflect on the progress since last year’s campaign. While both the 2023 and 2024 editions share the same core mission—to raise awareness and advocate for an end to violence against women and girls—they also signify a growing recognition of the need for comprehensive solutions. The 2024 campaign continues to amplify global voices, focus on intersectionality, and prioritize the need for systemic change in preventing gender-based violence. This year’s theme continues to demand accountability, highlighting that ending violence is not just a goal but an urgent, collective responsibility. Together, we can break the silence, challenge harmful norms, and support policies that protect women and girls everywhere. #16DaysOfActivism #EndGBV #StopViolenceAgainstWomen #GenderEquality #NoToGBV #WomenRights #16Days2024 #ActivismForChange #StandUpForHer #TogetherAgainstGBV
