DAY AGAINST THE VIOLENCE OF GENDER.

Women Light the Way for Human Rights," is the theme for the 8th Annual 16 Days of Activism against Gender Violence, linking the International Day against Violence against Women (November 25) to Human Rights Day (December 10). Launched in 1991 as part of the Global Campaign for Women’s Human Rights, the 16 days Campaign has grown steadily since then, involving women’s groups in dozens of countries who have organised events such as petition drives, tribunals, demonstrations, media campaigns, street theatre and radio.
