16 Days of Activism Against Gender‑Based Violence
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.
Human Rights & Equity Services and South House Sexual and Gender Resource Centre are teaming up for the fourth annual 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence Campaign. In the past, we have 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.
The campaign is exactly as it sounds: it runs for the 16-day period between November 25 (the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women) through to December 10 (International Human Rights Day).
