16 Days of Activism against gender-based violence is an annual international campaign that starts on 25 November and runs until 10 December every year.

The 16 Days campaign is an organising strategy for individuals and groups around the world to call for the elimination of all forms of gender-based violence against women and to:

  • raise awareness about gender-based violence against women as a human rights issue at the local, national, regional and international levels;
  • strengthen local work around gender-based violence against women;
  • provide a forum in which organisers can develop and share new and effective strategies.

Over 6000+ organisations in approximately 187 countries have participated in the 16 Days campaign since 1991, with a reach of 300 million.

Be Connected in partnership with the Students' Union and Student Support are hosting a drop in session in the Atrium from 12-2pm where you can talk to us about your experiences, find out more about the Forth Valley wider programme and safety on campus.  Tea and cake for anyone who would like to stay and chat.
