16 Days of Activism Against Gender Violence

Yesterday marked the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, kicking off a fantastic campaign: 16 Days of Activism Against Gender Violence.
Founded at Rutgers’ (represent!) Center for Women’s Global Leadership, the campaign begins on the International Day Against Violence Against Women and ends on December 10, International Human Rights Day, “in order to symbolically link violence against women and human rights and to emphasize that such violence is a violation of human rights.”
Since its inception in 1991, over 2,000 organizations in 154 countries have participated in the campaign.
At Feministing, we’re going to make an extra effort to cover issues concerning violence against women until December 10 and point you to resources (in the U.S. and abroad) to help you get involved.
For now, take a look at the campaign’s action kit and if you have a blog, get involved in the Carnival Against Violence Against Women, which Black Looks is hosting.
And please, if you know of any events that you want to share–announce them in comments!
