16 Days of Activism
- Details
Since 1991, the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence (GBV) has been a global campaign to end violence against women and girls, running annually from November 25 to December 10. It brings together activists, civil society, governments, and institutions in pursuit of justice, safety, and equality. Since 2004, the GBV Prevention Network has championed this campaign by mobilizing members, crafting shared messages, and amplifying feminist voices to drive awareness, policy change, and collective advocacy.
This year - 2025, we anchor our efforts in a transformative feminist vision—one that resists injustice but reimagines a world where women and girls thrive amid intersecting crises: climate collapse, conflict, pandemics, digital violence, economic inequality, and rising authoritarianism. We also confront the harsh realities: growing anti-rights movements and funding cuts that threaten the care and support systems our communities depend on. Yet, even in scarcity, we witness resilience—networks sharing, sustaining, and standing in solidarity. This year, we honor both the struggle and the strength

16 Days of Activism
- Details
Since 1991, the 16 days of activism against Gender Based Violence campaign has taken place every year, starting on November 25th, on the day of Elimination of Violence Against Women, and ending on Human Rights Day on December 10th. The Centre for Women’s Global Leadership has coordinated this global event since it began in 1991. Since 2004 the GBV Prevention Network has been leading regional organizing with members through the Action and Advocacy Kits.
As we embark on the 2024 16 Days of Activism campaign, this year’s campaign focuses on the upcoming 30th anniversary of the Beijing Platform for Action (BPfA), which was adopted in 1995 at the Fourth World Conference on Women. BPfA is a landmark document in the history of global women’s rights, in which world leaders made a commitment to advancing the strategic objections and actions across 12 areas of concern, including Violence against Women Together, we stand united in our voices and present a powerful front as we push for investment, pushing back against the backlash.
