In South Africa government adopted the 16 Days of Activism campaign, now known as 16 Days of Activism for No Violence against Women and Children. Each year it brings marches, dialogues, court watching, media and survivor led actions for safety, justice and change. #16DaysOfActivism

Sixteen Days of Activism 💜 runs from 25 November to 10 December. Linking these dates shows that violence in homes, workplaces, online and in public spaces is a human rights violation that demands justice and accountability. #16DaysOfActivism
