Every year, from November 25 to December 10, the global campaign 16 Days of Activism against Gender-based Violence (GBV) runs around the world. It starts on the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women and ends on the International Human Rights Day.
The campaign was first launched by the Center for Women’s Global Leadership in 1991, and since then helps to raise voice against GBV at the local, national, regional and international levels.
In 2020, the Campaign focuses on increasing efforts to enhance the role of women working in the informal economy. The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic and the consequent economic difficulties, the massive lockdowns have led to income losses and increased cases of domestic violence against women and girls.
