From 25 November to 10 December, CatholicCare is joining the global 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence campaign.
The international movement calls for the prevention and elimination of violence against women and girls through raising awareness, challenging harmful attitudes, and advocating for action to end violence against women and girls.
It begins on the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women and concludes on Human Rights Day, signalling that safety, respect, and dignity are basic human rights everyone deserves, regardless of gender.
To mark the campaign, we’re sharing a special daily blog series right here. Each day, we’ll release a new image and message that encourages reflection on the impacts of gender-based violence and helps to build understanding and awareness across our community.
We invite you to follow along each day as we take steps toward creating safer, more respectful communities.
🧡 Today is the 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗗𝗮𝘆 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗘𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗩𝗶𝗼𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗮𝗴𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘁 𝗪𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻. This global day shines a light on the 𝘂𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁 need to end violence against women and girls in our homes, workplaces, communities, and online spaces. It’s a reminder that violence is never acceptable, never inevitable, and always preventable. Today, and everyday, we stand with women and communities everywhere calling for safety, respect, and a future free from violence.
