The Sixteen Days of Activism against Gender Violence is an internationally recognised campaign held every year between 25 November and 10 December. The campaign commences with International Day for the Prevention of Violence against Women (25th Nov) and ends with International Human Rights Day (10th Dec). The founding participants chose these dates in order to symbolically link gender-based violence (GBV) and human rights and furthermore to emphasise that such violence is a violation of human rights.
