About
16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence starts on November 25 — the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women — and ends on December 10, International Human Rights Day.
In 1991, the Center for Women’s Global Leadership at Rutgers University initiated an annual international campaign that is dedicated to ending gender-based violence, and that has since run every year, with support from the United Nations and with growing participation from hundreds of organizations around the world.
In the past, Human Rights & Equity Services has collaborated with various faculties, organizations, services, departments, centres, offices, and programs on campus and in the surrounding Halifax community to host and deliver, over a 16-day period, a series of events, campaigns, and/or activities committed to profiling, addressing, and eradicating all forms of sex- and gender-based violence.
