From 25 November, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence
against Women, to 10 December, Human Rights Day, the 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence Campaign is a time to
galvanize action to end violence against women and girls around the world. The
international campaign originated from the first Women's Global Leadership
Institute Women's Global
Leadership Institute in 1991 coordinated by the Center for Women's
Global Leadership in
1991.
This year 2018, the UNiTE Campaign will mark the 16 Days of Activism
against Gender-Based Violence under the theme, “End
Gender-Based Violence in the World of Work.” The Orange the World:
#HearMeToo
For far too long, impunity, silence and stigma have allowed violence
against women to escalate to pandemic proportions—one in three women worldwide
experience gender-based violence.
The time for change is here and now.
In recent years, the voices of survivors and activists, through
campaigns such as #MeToo, #TimesUp, #Niunamenos, #NotOneMore, #BalanceTonPorc
and others, have reached a crescendo that cannot be silenced any more.
Advocates understand that while the names and contexts may differ across
geographic locations, women and girls everywhere are experiencing extensive
abuse and their stories need to be brought to light.
Under the theme Orange the World: #HearMeToo, the UNiTE partners are
encouraged to host events with local, national, regional and global women’s
movements, survivor advocates and women human rights defenders and create
opportunities for dialogue between activists, policy-makers and the public. As
in previous years, the colour orange will be a key theme unifying all
activities, with buildings and landmarks lit and decorated in orange to bring
global attention to the initiative.
