Printer-friendly version

The Center for Women's Global Leadership (CWGL) at Rutgers University launched the 16
Days Campaign to call for an end to gender-based violence and appeal to governments to respond, protect, and prevent violence against women.

The 2012 16 Days Campaign will continue with the global theme: From Peace in the Home to Peace in the World: Let's Challenge Militarism and End Violence Against Women! This year's Campaign marks our third year of advocacy on the intersections of gender-based violence and militarism.

The sub-themes of the Campaign are:
-Sexual and gender-based violence committed by state agents, particularly the police or military
-Proliferation of small arms and their role in domestic violence
-Sexual violence in and after conflict

The global theme announcement is available in 38 languages from the CWGL 16 Days website
