16 Days of Activism 2023: Femicide & Care
The Global 16 Days Campaign was started in 1991 by the Center for Women’s Global Leadership. The 16-day period starts on November 25, International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, and ends on December 10, International Human Rights Day. As a part of its strategy to end gender-based violence, Equality Bahamas participates in this campaign with a series of events.
This year, we continue addressing the issue of #femicide and facilitating conversations about care, taking time to reflect on the influence of media, discuss what it means to be in community and imagine what global solidarity looks like.
Equality Bahamas is hosting virtual events, which include conversations about femicide, care models to respond to gender-based violence, healthcare accessibility and yoga nidra.
