This year’s 16 Days will focus on actions at local government level to end gender based violence as it is the sphere of government closest to the people. This will be achieved through the Gender Links Centres of Excellence for Gender Mainstreaming in Local Government, that are currently being rolled out across the SADC region.

Gender Links wishes to extend the 16 Days of Activism beyond big cities and towns to reach communities in more remote areas that are usually marginalised and left out of such campaigns and this will form one of the organisations’ key indicators of success. A call for good practices on addressing gender based violence at the local level that will be showcased at the March 2011 Gender Justice and Local Government Summit will be linked to the 16 Days Campaign where documentation of the case studies will begin.
