Today Marks the International Day on the Elimination of Violence Against Women and the Launch of 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence! As we commemorate this day, we stand united in the fight to end violence against women and girls across the globe. This year, Lesotho’s national theme for the 16 Days of Activism is “Counter Domestic Violence”, a call to action for individuals, communities, and organisations to address this pervasive issue. At the International Human Rights Lab (IHRL), we remain committed to raising awareness, fostering dialogue, and driving meaningful change to protect and empower women and girls. Domestic violence is not just a private issue; it’s a human rights violation, and together, we can break the cycle of abuse. Join us in this campaign to create safer, more inclusive communities. Stay tuned for updates on our events and initiatives throughout the 16 Days of Activism! #EndViolence #EndGBV #16DaysOfActivism #EliminateViolenceAgainstWomen #CounterDomesticViolence #HumanRights #IHRL

#CDHAlert | In today's alert, Brigitta Mangale and Caitlin Freddy talk about standing in solidarity against gender-based violence and femicide. The annual 16 Days of Activism for No Violence Against Women and Children Campaign aims to raise awareness of the enduring and devastating impact that gender-based violence and femicide have on women and children, and our society more broadly. In this alert, we highlight some of the work being done by CDH’s Pro Bono Practice in Cape Town and public interest organisations to combat violence against women and children, not just during these 16 days, but year-round. While we, alongside our public interest partner organisations, are working towards yielding positive developments of our legal framework that benefit all women and children across South Africa, we need still consider what must and can still be achieved through collective action.

Despite large protests mainly by women against #familyvilence - though this is a family issue - there has been no new money promised for on the ground services, to examine the way courts are used to re-traumatise victim-survivors or to educate men, women, families about preventing family violence. Listening to the speeches and comments, it is difficult to believe Australia is a multicultural nation. There is no mention of funding for culturally-specific family violence services, education, prevention, healing. Is there no understanding that family violence has to be addressed and prevented in a cultural context? This silence will harm us all.
