Globally, the 16 Days of Activism, observed from November 25 to December 10, focuses on violence against women as a critical human rights issue. This year’s theme, “Towards 30 Years of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action: UNiTE to End Violence Against Women,” aligns with the UN’s “UNiTE by 2030” initiative. It calls for decisive efforts to prevent gender-based violence, particularly gender-related killings, and to strengthen protections for women and girls worldwide. Together, the local and international campaigns emphasize the shared responsibility to combat gender-based violence and advocate for systemic change.
