The 16 Days of Activism Campaign is a global initiative to eliminate gender-based violence. On #Day1, we assert that there is #NoExcuse for violence against women. This International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women focuses on the theme: "Towards Beijing +30: UNiTE to End Violence Against Women and Girls." Let us unite to say NO to violence in all its forms.  #ACEPA #NoExcuse #EndViolence #16DaysOfActivism

The 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence is a global campaign running annually from November 25, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, to December 10, Human Rights Day. This year’s theme, #NoExcuse. UNiTE to End Violence against Women, calls for action to prevent and end violence against women and girls globally. The statistic that every 11 minutes, a woman is killed by a partner or family member is both heartbreaking and a call to action. This year’s 16 Days of Activism theme—“Every [11] Minutes[1], a woman is killed. #NoExcuse. UNiTE to End Violence against Women”—underscores the urgency of the issue and highlights the global crisis of gender-based violence. nnDnn . . . . . #womanforwomenosmth #osmth #lightacandleforeverywoman #NoToViolence #noexcuses #NoExcuse #stopviolenceagainstwomen #UN Photo credit: https://lnkd.in/dC9kq6kh https://lnkd.in/dXEzdKXd

Today marks the start of 16 Days of Activism against gender-based violence, with this year's theme of: #NoExcuse. All around the globe, women's rights are being abolished - every 10 minutes, a woman is murdered by family members or partners. This act of femicide is the most brutal result of the cycle of gender-based violence - a cycle that women and girls experience in all aspects of our lives. 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.

16 DAYS OF ACTIVISM AGAINST GENDER BASED VIOLENCE [25 November 2024-10 December 2024] “Violence is the breast milk we are feeding our young…Women’s rights are human rights — and they must be promoted and protected.” Graça Machel. Introduction Veritas joins the world in commemorating the 16 days of activism against gender-based violence. Significantly, this campaign culminates in Human Rights Day on the 10th December, which marks the anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). Violence against women and girls is the most pervasive breach of human rights. The 16 days of activism against gender-based violence global campaign offers an opportunity to reflect on progress made on the elimination of violence against women, to call for change, and to celebrate acts of courage and determination in protecting women and girls against gender-based violence. https://lnkd.in/dhHz9xqB

This year marks 25 years since the international community first designated 25 November as the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women in honour of the Mirabel sisters – commemorating their lifelong resistance and brutal assassination by the state in 1960. In 2024, we know all too well that women and girls continue to be murdered because of their gender. So far in Australia, over 80 women have already been killed this year as a result of gender-based violence. That’s why days like IDEVAWG matter so much – they are important moments in time to bring our voices together and draw attention to the alarming rates of gender-based violence that persist in our communities. In addition to being an important day for women's rights activists, #IDEVAW also marks the start of the global #16DaysOfActivism campaign. United in our belief that everyone has the right to safety and respect, activists across the world will use the next 16 days to make our message clear: violence against women and girls is never acceptable.

🔸 Breaking the Silence: FGM Has No Place in Our Communities 🔸 Have we been too silent? Perhaps. Our mission to mitigate Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) reminds us of an uncomfortable truth: silence perpetuates harm. Across Africa, including Kenya’s Kajiado and Turkana regions, FGM continues to be a deeply entrenched practice—one that scars the body and soul of countless girls and women. 💡 To appreciate culture and traditions does not mean tolerating actions that undermine the health, dignity, and future of any individual with devastating physical and psychological consequences. Silence is not an option. "It is not enough to be compassionate. You must #act." – Dalai Lama #16DaysOfActivism, we’re making it clear: 🔊 We believe in communities that uplift, not restrict. 🔊 We stand for traditions that empower, not harm. 🔊 We champion a future where every girl belongs, free from violence and stigma. 📢 Together We Rise. Break the cycle. #16DaysOfActivism #HumanRights #SOIDAFoundation #EndFGM #TogetherForHer #StopTheSilence

Today marks the beginning of the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence! According to a report by UN Women, for at least 51,100 women in 2023, the cycle of gender-based violence ended with one final and brutal act—their murder by partners and family members. That is why, during the 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence, the UNiTE campaign is drawing attention to the alarming escalation of violence against women under the theme, “Every 10 Minutes, a woman is killed. #NoExcuse. UNiTE to End Violence against Women”. Join us for the 16 Days of Activism as we unite to stand against gender-based violence and demand accountability from decision-makers. Each day, we’ll share inspiring quotes from long time Maitri advocates—steadfast allies of survivors—highlighting the urgent need to end gender-based violence. Stay tuned and follow our posts to be part of the movement!  #16daysofactivism #endviolenceagainstwomen #endgenderbasedviolence #NoExcuse #UNiTE, #unitednations  #communityawareness  #maitribayarea #maitricampaigns #maitriadvocates

Violence against women and girls (#VAWG) remains largely underreported due to the impunity, silence, stigma and shame surrounding it. Yet the crisis of gender-based violence remains urgent; every 10 minutes, a woman or girl was killed intentionally by a partner or family member in 2023. The 16 Days of Activism, starting today (November 25) on International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women and concluding on International Human Rights Day (December 10), provide a vital opportunity to demand accountability and action from leaders. There is #NoExcuse for violence against women and girls—and no excuse for not taking a stand against it. Preventing violence requires us to engage men who, worldwide, make up the majority of perpetrators of violence against women. At Equimundo we see men and boys as stakeholders, actors and allies in a more just, safe and caring world – in partnership with women and girls and individuals of all gender identities. #16Days United Nations UN Women
