Think before you click.

Respect and uplift your fellow human beings, fervently pursue truth and justice, serve as a voice for those who have been silenced by fear and persecution, and always choose peace over violence.

16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence
2020 UNiTE Campaign Theme: "Orange the World: Fund, Respond, Prevent, Collect!"
The UN System’s 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence activities, from 25 November to 10 December, will take place under our 2020 global theme: "Orange the World: Fund, Respond, Prevent, Collect!"


As the world retreated inside homes due to the lockdown measures introduced to curb the COVID-19 pandemic, reports showed an alarming increase in the already existing pandemic of violence against women.

“Accompanying the crisis has been a spike in domestic violence reporting, at exactly the time that services, including rule of law, health and shelters, are being diverted to address the pandemic,” stated the UN Secretary-General's report, “Shared Responsibility, Global Solidarity: Responding to the socio-economic impacts of COVID-19".

You can make a difference during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and protracted state of crisis it has generated across the world. You can support women and girl survivors of violence to stay safe and free of violence. Take action during this year’s 16 Days of Activism to End Gender-Based Violence. For more information about “Orange the World: Fund, Respond, Prevent, Collect!” and action ideas, see this year’s concept note.

The 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence is an annual international campaign that kicks off on 25 November, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, and runs until 10 December, Human Rights Day. It was started by activists at the inaugural Women’s Global Leadership Institute in 1991 and continues to be coordinated each year by the Center for Women’s Global Leadership. It is used as an organizing strategy by individuals and organizations around the world to call for the prevention and elimination of violence against women and girls.

In support of this civil society initiative, under the leadership of the UN Secretary-General, António Guterres, the United Nations Secretary-General’s UNiTE by 2030 to End Violence against Women campaign (UNiTE campaign) calls for global actions to increase awareness, galvanize advocacy efforts, and share knowledge and innovations.

We will keep advocating for Sexual and Reproductive health related rights and programs for adolescents and youths to empower us to make informed decisions for healthier choices and lifestyle changes.

I have been trained by VisionInAction to facilitate and Advocate for young people,their sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR)which is a very crucial part of their lives – whether they are sexually active or not.

It is also important to recognize the important role young people can play in delivering effective SRHR programs and improved health outcomes through Peer Education,sensitization campaigns and the facilitation through the Access, Services and Knowledge program on meaningful youth participation (MYP) in relation to their SRHR.
We need to engage young people in the design and implementation of SRHR programs.
Thank you VisionInAction
