16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence

16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence < SRHM

July 24, 2024:

The 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence is an international campaign that takes place each year. It commences on 25 November, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, and runs until 10 December, Human Rights Day.

The extent of violence against women and girls across the world is alarming and is increasingly recognised not only as a grave human rights violation, but also as a public health problem that affects the lives and physical and mental health of millions of women and girls globally. Rooted in gender inequality, violence against women and girls constitutes a major barrier to their sexual and reproductive health and rights.

In recent years, the voices of survivors and activists, through campaigns such as #MeToo, #TimesUp, #Niunamenos, #NotOneMore, #Nopiwouma, #BalanceTonPorc, and others, have put the spotlight on the issue of sexual violence and have reached a crescendo that can not be silenced. While the names, times and contexts may differ, women and girls continue to experience rape, sexual violence, and abuse, in times of peace or war.

The papers contained in the SRHM journal shed light on some of the many circumstances and forms of gender-based violence that impact negatively on people’s sexual and reproductive health and their rights, with papers highlighting how the risk of such violence is heightened in conflict and during migration.

Here is a list of relevant SRHM papers in honour of to this year’s 16 days of activism against gender-based violence:
