16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence 2023
IEUA NSW/ACT is proud to support 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence. The global campaign runs annually from the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women on 25 November to International Human Rights Day on 10 December.
Over the 16 Days, the global campaign is asking governments, institutions, and citizens to show us how much the world cares about ending violence against women and girls under the theme "UNITE! Invest to prevent violence against women and girls".
Below is a list of events and resources to share throughout the campaign.
