16 Days Campaign 2020

Women’s Health East (WHE) in partnership with the Together for Equality and Respect partnership developed a social media campaign toolkit to assist organisations and groups across the Eastern Metropolitan Region (EMR) of Melbourne to participate in the 2020 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence Campaign (16 Days Campaign).

The 2020 campaign titled 16 Ways to Call it Out in the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence, promotes ways of calling out sexism, discrimination and gender inequality. The campaign was designed to align with the Respect Victoria resources as well as incorporating the active bystander evidence base of Our Watch and VicHealth.

16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence is a global campaign to challenge violence against women and girls. The campaign runs every year from November 25th, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, to December 10th, Human Rights Day.

The awareness raising campaign promotes collective action to prevent violence against women and girls. The campaign uses the bright and optimistic colour orange, to represent a future free from violence against women and girls, as a unifying theme running through all of its global activities.
