16 Days of Activism 25th November 2019

13/11/2019

 

As part of the international campaign of 16 days of activism, SERICC are inviting women to join us for taster classes at the Thurrock Adult Community College between the 25th November and the 7th December. 

 

The 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence against women is an international campaign originating from the first Women’s Global Leadership Institute. “16 Days,” as it has become known, was launched and continues to be coordinated by the Centre for Women’s Global Leadership.

 

The dates for the campaign were chosen to link violence against women and human rights and emphasize that gender-based violence against women is a violation of human rights: since 1991, the campaign has been active between November 25, the International Day Against Violence Against Women, and December 10, International Human Rights Day.

 

This 16-day period also highlights other significant dates including November 29, International Women Human Rights Defenders Day; December 1, World AIDS Day; and December 6, which marks the Anniversary of the Montreal Massacre.  

 

Events are free but spaces are limited so please book your space in advance.
