16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence

16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence runs from 25 November to 10 December annually. The international campaign was started by the Women’s Global Leadership Institute in 1991, and now runs annually.

It begins each year on the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women and runs until Human Rights Day.

The aim is to call for the prevention and elimination of violence against women and girls.

The global theme for this year’s 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence, which will run from 25 November to 10 December 2023, is “UNITE! Invest to prevent violence against women and girls.”

To mark the occasion, Council, in partnership with the Jesuit Refugee Service, and the Domestic and Family Violence Community of Practice will be holding the Western Sydney Women’s March on Wednesday 29 November from 1:30pm in which attendees will be marching from Merrylands Oval to Merrylands Civic Square.
