16 Days of Activism Against Gender Violence

Join the Women's Center as we participate in the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender Violence. We'll be posting to this blog everyday starting from the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women on November 25th to the International Human Rights Day on December 10th, which make up the 16 Days. This campaign reinforces that eliminating all forms of violence against women is a human rights issue and that the act of perpetuating violence against women is a human rights violation. This year, the 16 Days Campaign's theme is Militarism and Violence Against Women. The Campaign's global call to action seeks to challenge militarism and end violence against women, strengthen women's leadership to promote peace, realize human rights for all to achieve genuine security, and recognize and prevent gender violence in our own communities.


In solidarity, the UCSD Women's Center will be participating in this international effort. Our posts will range from articles written about gender violence issues, to ways that you can get involved. For more information on the 16 Days and how to get involved, visit our Facebook page, which you can find in the left column.
