Join us in calling for an end to the violence by sharing the facts about GBV
around the world.
Dear John,
[[link removed]]Today marks the start of 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence (GBV), an annual international campaign that begins on the International Day
for the Elimination of Violence against Women, and runs until December 10,
International Human Rights Day.
During the 16 Days of Activism, as we raise awareness about GBV, we note the
unfortunate fact that women and girls and LGBTQ refugees are particularly
vulnerable to violence and oppression. And, as the COVID-19 pandemic deepens
economic and social stress coupled with restricted movement and social isolation
measures, gender-based violence is increasing significantly.
Join us in calling for an end to the violence by sharing the facts about GBV
worldwide.

In countries around the world, HIAS is working to end GBV through our prevention
and response programs that help forcibly displaced women and girls and LGBTQ
people pursue their potential and access human rights, free from violence and
oppression.
Our 16 Days of Activism social media toolkit contains easy-to-share facts about
GBV and refugees and asylum seekers. With just a few clicks, you can help raise
awareness. Start sharing the facts now.
