Gender-based violence is one of the most prevalent human rights issues in the world. It prevents individuals from leading a life of dignity, security, and autonomy.

'16 Days of Activism' mark the period between International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women
(25^th November) to Human Rights Day (10^th December).

It's observed to initiate conversations around eliminating violence and posing actionable solutions.

Our campaign strived to challenge violence in all forms against women, girls, and the transgender community. We also highlighted the importance of helping and supporting abuse survivors. We tried to shed a light on why the availability of healthcare and #AbortionServices becomes essential in situations of abuse. The primary role remained to underline the necessity of survivor-centred essential healthcare services.
