This year, in honour of the new International Campaign to Stop Rape & Gender Violence in Conflict campaign, we feature activists who are working tirelessly to end rape and gender violence around the world.

16 Days of Activism Against Gender Violence is a global annual campaign which aims to bring attention to gender violence and highlight the work of activists all over the world. It was first initiated by the Women's Global Leadership Institute sponsored by the Center for Women's Global Leadership in 1991. The campaign begins on November 25, the International Day Against Violence Against Women, and runs until December 10, International Human Rights Day.
This year's campaign theme is ‘From Peace in the Home to Peace in the World: Let's Challenge Militarism and End Violence Against Women’.
