16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence 2020

We’ve got a great lineup of free, virtual events from November 25 to December 8 as a part of the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-based Violence global campaign. Get trained in bystander intervention, learn how to talk to the young people in your life about building healthy relationships, get online safety tips, learn about C190, and be in conversation with dozens of people on a range of topics with us.

We’re looking forward to seeing you multiple times throughout the campaign, so be sure to check out the three-part schedule, register for as many events as you’d like to attend, and share widely.

We’ll kick things off with an Instagram Live on Wednesday, November 25, which is International Day to End Violence Against Women. Our conversation with Stephen Thompson, Erin Greene, and Kadesha Treco is called “Feminist Policymaking: Centering Vulnerable Communities in Recommendations to End Gender-Based Violence.”

Celebrating 58 years of Women’s Suffrage in The Bahamas on Thursday, November 26, join us for Bystander Intervention Training with Lauren Glinton.

On Friday November 27, we’re having a session called “Redefining Peace: Global Strategies to End Violence Against Women” with Ava Turnquest (Eyewitness News), Aneesah Abdullah (SDG Unit), Patrice Daniel, Krishanti Dharmaraj (Feminist Alliance for Rights).

Calling all parents, guardians, teachers, youth workers, and people working with young people on a regular basis to participate in our workshop about Talking to Children About Healthy Relationships with Taitu Heron and Chelsea Foster.
