16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence

Around the world girls, women, and transgender and gender non-binary individuals are victims of violence simply because of their gender identity or gender expression. The Global 16 Days Campaign has been used worldwide to call for the elimination of gender-based violence. It runs annually from November 25th to December 10th. See below for ways to get involved in this campaign.

16 Resources for Survivors of Gender-Based Violence

• In honor of 16 Days Against Gender-Based Violence, we are sharing 16 CCNY and community resources that support survivors of gender-based violence. Click here for PDF of Resources

Hear Our Voices

• Join Womankind's space for clients and communities for stories about gender-based violence in multiple expressions. The website is a virtual exhibit featuring artwork in multiple mediums (poetry, dance, photography, painting, and range in tone and theme) from a range of staff, clients, supporters, community members, etc. We hope by accessing the virtual exhibit, it allows people to walk through stories at their own time/pace (essential to survivors) and find connection to others in a hopeful and meaningful way.
