The global 16 Days of Activism for No Violence Against Women and Children campaign, runs from 25 November (International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women)through to International Human Rights Day on 10 December. 


The objective of the campaign is to reinforce a plan to fight abuse. Lets try to take some time out during these 16 days and get involved because judging from the statistics we probably all know someone who is a victim of domestic violence.
