16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence 2025
The 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence is an United Nations Campaign and as such is a global campaign for change that runs from 25 November, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, to 10 December, Human Rights Day. Established in 1991 by activists at the first Women’s Global Leadership Institute, the campaign aims to raise awareness and inspire action to end violence against women and girls worldwide.
Let us pray
May God give us eyes to recognise abuse where it exists. May God give us a heart to reach out in compassion. May God give us courage and resolve to make a difference wherever we are. May God bless us and nurture our head, heart and hands as we invite God to guide and disrupt us and to direct our paths so that our prayers may be informed and lead us to action.
