SIXTEEN DAYS OF ACTIVISM
BACKGROUND
The Sixteen Days of Activism Against Sexual and Gender-based Violence is an annual international campaign that begins November 25 and ends December 10. The campaign calls for the PREVENTION and ELIMINATION of violence against women and girls.
Through community-based awareness and sensitization activities, 100 of GPFA’s Bong County-based students facilitated and implemented the 16-days campaign. The target demographic of the campaign were the men of Bong County. During the campaign, students and community animators engaged in discourse and training activities with men to educate and ward against perpetuating violence against women in their communities.
