BASW Supports 16-Days of Activism Against Gender Based Violence
BASW is sharing a range of resources in support of the 16 days campaign.
16 Days of Action against gender-based violence is an annual campaign that runs from 25 November to 10 December, which is Human Rights Day.
It is an important opportunity for people, organisations and communities to call for the elimination of violence against women and girls. Every effort invested in preventing violence against women is a step towards a safer, more equal and prosperous world.
This year’s theme highlights the growing threat of online harassment, image-based abuse, and digital coercive control, and calls for collective action to make digital spaces safer for everyone
