“16 Days of Activism” is an annual campaign that began on 25 November, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, and continues until 10 December, International Human Rights Day.
By 2025, this campaign focuses on the mission of ending digital violence against all women and girls, one of the fastest growing forms of violence worldwide. Digital violence includes harassment, stalking, disinformation, fake digital montages and the distribution of intimate photos without consent via the internet, all of which are increasing significantly with the development of technology. /k.s/j.p/p.s./
