IMATU supports 16 Days of Activism
The 16 Days of Activism for No Violence Against Women and Children Campaign is an annual United Nations campaign that takes place from 25 November (International Day of No Violence Against Women) to 10 December (International Human Rights Day).
Other important commemorative days during this time period include World Aids Day on 1 December and the International Day of Persons with Disabilities on 3 December.
The theme for 2024 is “RESPECT: Not all disrespect leads to violence against women – but all violence against women begins with disrespect #noexcuse“.
The 16 Days Campaign is the centre point of the government’s comprehensive 365 Days of Activism for No Violence Against Women and Children.
During the 16-day period, the Government together with civil society and the private sector, will host a series of community and sector dialogues and activities in order to foster a collaborative effort in dealing with GBVF.
Let us join forces to support the 16 Days of Activism For No Violence Against Women and Children campaign.
Ms Queen Mbatha, IMATU’s Deputy President, has sent a strong message at the outset of this campaign.
