16 Days of Activism to End Violence Against Women

Every year CARE Cambodia joins UN Women and many other organisations in Cambodia to mark the 16 Day of Activism to End Violence Against Women. This global campaign aims to raise awareness of ending violence against women and encourage people to take action. 

 

The 16 Days of Activism starts on the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women and continues until International Human Rights Day. It originated in 1991 and is now a global campaign to raise awareness of ending violence against women.

 

 In Cambodia, many events take place to encourage people to shift the blame away from women and say that violence is never acceptable. CARE partners with UN Women, the Ministry of Women’s Affairs and many other organisations to raise awareness and encourage people to take action.
