16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence is an international campaign that runs 25 November - 10 December 2024. Its purpose is to enable individuals, communities and organisations to come together to take a stand against violence against women.
The campaign starts on International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women and ends on Human Rights Day. To mark the campaign, Fife Violence Against Women Partnership have pulled together a local programme of events and learning activities intended to raise awareness of violence against women, its causes and consequences. They hope this programme creates an opportunity for people to come together as a partnership and as a community and enable people to join us in asking for change, for an end to violence against women.
"The phrase violence against women and girls is used to describe violent and abusive behaviour directed at women and girls because they are women and girls. It is behaviour which is carried out predominantly by men. It is an abuse of power and stems from systemic, deep-rooted women's inequality. VAWG limits women's and girls' freedom and potential and is a fundamental violation of human rights." - Scotland's Equally Safe Strategy Information on the local campaign here: www.fife.gov.uk/16days
