Save the date and the place to be “16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence Campaign 2018, from 25 November, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, to 10 December, Human Rights Day”.Supported by Ronald Tintin, Super Professeur and Ronning Against Cancer.
From 25 November, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, to 10 December, Human Rights Day, the 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence Campaign is a time to galvanize action to end violence against women and girls around the world. The international campaign originated from the first Women's Global Leadership Institute Women'sGlobalLeadershipInstitutein1991coordinated by the CenterforWomen'sGlobalLeadership in 1991.
This year 2018, the UNiTE Campaign will mark the 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence under the theme, “End Gender-Based Violence in the World of Work.”TheOrangetheWorld:#HearMeToo
For far too long, impunity, silence and stigma have allowed violence against women to escalate to pandemic proportions—one in three women worldwide experience gender-based violence.
The time for change is here and now.
In recent years, the voices of survivors and activists, through campaigns such as #MeToo, #TimesUp, #Niunamenos, #NotOneMore, #BalanceTonPorc and others, have reached a crescendo that cannot be silenced any more. Advocates understand that while the names and contexts may differ across geographic locations, women and girls everywhere are experiencing extensive abuse and their stories need to be brought to light.
This is why the UNiTE Campaign’s global advocacy theme this year is: Orange the World: #HearMeToo
Under the theme Orange the World: #HearMeToo, the UNiTE partners are encouraged to host events with local, national, regional and global women’s movements, survivor advocates and women human rights defenders and create opportunities for dialogue between activists, policy-makers and the public. As in previous years, the colour orange will be a key theme unifying all activities, with buildings and landmarks lit and decorated in orange to bring global attention to the initiative.
