What Are the 16 Days of Activism?
The 16 Days of Activism is an annual, international campaign that calls for the prevention and elimination of violence against women and girls (VAWG). It runs every year from November 25 (International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women) to December 10 (Human Rights Day).
The campaign is symbolized by the color Orange—representing a brighter future free from violence—and often uses the UN Secretary-General’s UNiTE initiative as a central theme. The simple truth is: violence against women is a violation of human rights.
