Today is the start of 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence (GBV), a global campaign to galvanise international action to end violence against women and girls. The Campaign runs annually from 25 November - International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women to 10 December - International Human Rights Day. The UK has pioneered approaches around the world that have shown reductions in violence of around 50% in less than three years. #16daysofactivism
