CLICK HERE for the calendar of events that will be happening throughout the borough to mark the ‘16 Days of Activism’.
The ‘16 Days of Activism’ run from 25th November, UN International Day of Elimination of Violence against Women, to 10th December, Human Rights Day.
The campaign spans these 16 Days to highlight the link between violence against women and human rights. Today, women and girls are subjected to many forms of human rights violations solely based on their gender.
25th November also marks White Ribbon Day. The White Ribbon Campaign was first launched by a group of men in Canada, in 1991 after the brutal mass shooting of 14 female students at the University of Montreal. The White Ribbon Campaign is now an international effort of men and boys working to end violence against women. Its basic principle is the importance of men and boys speaking out against all forms of violence against women.
Tower Hamlets actively supports both campaigns.
