Sixteen days of activism 2010 report

The 16 Days of Activism against Women campaign 2010 was carried out under the international theme of Structures of Violence: Defining the Intersection of Militarism and Violence Against Women. GL and GEMSA ran the campaign under the regional banner ‘Peace begins at home: Halve gender based violence by 2015’. This target responds to the tone of the 28 targets in the SADC Protocol on Gender and Development.

The focus of this year’s 16 Days activities was to take stock of achievements in addressing gender based violence, and to raise awareness on key provisions of the SADC Protocol. GL and GEMSA identified a number of strategies aimed at achieving this goal, and to this end established strategic partnerships throughout the region.
