Activism against Gender-Based Violence

Dundalk Institute of Technology (DkIT) is joining forces with 15 other Higher Education Institutions across Ireland to take a powerful stand during the global campaign, 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence. Starting November 25, on the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, this initiative will highlight the urgent need to eliminate violence against women and girls, underscored by this year’s theme: “Every 11 Minutes, a Woman is Killed. #NoExcuse.”

The 16 Days of Activism campaign, which continues through December 10 (Human Rights Day), was launched in 1991 by the Women’s Global Leadership Institute as a call to prevent and eliminate gender-based violence worldwide. Now, with the backing of the United Nations Secretary-General’s UNiTE by 2030 to End Violence against Women campaign, universities, organisations, and individuals around the globe are joining the cause.
