The 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence is an annual international campaign that begins on 25 November, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, and runs until 10 December, Human Rights Day.
Ahead of this, we wish to share with you links to the campaign toolkit, events that will be happening during the campaign and useful local resources.
The Improvement Service is supporting the campaign in Scotland and they have published links to the toolkit alongside a calendar of event taking place across the country and online. Find all of this on their website at 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence.
