The 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-based Violence (16 Days) is an annual international campaign, occurring from November 25 to December 10. This campaign began in 1991 to call out and speak up against gender-based violence (GBV), and to renew our commitment to ending violence against women, girls, and 2SLGBTQIA+ communities (Government of Canada). This year, for 2026, the theme is: Ensure justice, protect survivors, end impunity.
