From Peace in the Home to Peace in the World

The 16 Days of Activism Against Gender Violence is an international campaign originating from the first Women’s Global Leadership Institute sponsored by the Center for Women’s Global Leadership (CWGL) at Rutgers University in 1991. Participants chose the dates November 25, International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, and December 10, International Human Rights Day, in order to symbolically link violence against women and human rights and to emphasize that such violence is a human rights violation.

 This year's theme is From Peace in the Home to Peace in the World: Let’s Challenge Militarism and End Violence Against Women! More info and downloadable materials here
