What is 16 Days?

It is an annual international campaign to end gender-based violence started by activists at the inauguration of the Women’s Global Leadership Institute in 1991.

Every year we take part in 16 Days campaign which starts on November 25th, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, and runs until December 10th, Human Rights Day.
