As November arrives, it brings an opportunity to reflect on something deeply important—the fight to end gender-based violence. In just a few weeks, from November 25 (International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women) to December 10 (Human Rights Day), we mark the *16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence.* This campaign is a call for us all to stand together, raise awareness, and demand change for a world free from violence and oppression. Gender-based violence impacts millions globally—affecting people of all genders, but disproportionately affecting women and vulnerable people. This year, I’m committing to learning more, amplifying survivors' voices, and supporting organizations that provide crucial resources and advocacy. Together, let's use these 16 days to make a meaningful difference: educate ourselves, engage in conversations that challenge harmful norms, support survivors, and stand united for a world where everyone is safe and respected. Every action counts, every voice matters. Let’s keep pushing for change beyond these 16 days because everyone deserves to live without fear. #16Days #EndGenderBasedViolence #TogetherForChange Happy November folks.
