16 Days of Activism Against Gender Violence is a global campaign
As part of its participation in the international 16 Days of Activism Against Gender Violence campaign, Mothers’ Union is calling for “One in three to zero” – for the number of women globally experiencing gender-based violence to drop from one in three to zero.
The Christian charity is calling on governments to create a culture where violence against women and girls (VAWG) is unacceptable, through the education of young people and adults about loving, respectful relationships. Governments also need to outlaw all forms of gender-based violence, ensure that survivors have access to justice and support services and provide for the rehabilitation of perpetrators.
The Global 16 Days Event, which runs from 25th November and ends on 10th December, the International Day of Human Rights.
