Gender-based violence (GBV) is a global epidemic. It crosses every social and economic class, ethnicity, race, religion, and education level, and transcends international borders. Together we can work to address the causes and find solutions.
#16days is an initiative to raise awareness and encourage positive action around ending gender-based violence. The United Nations (UN) global #16days campaign kicks off November 25th and runs until December 10th.
