ABOUT THE GLOBAL 16 DAYS CAMPAIGN The Global 16 Days Campaign was launched in 1991 at the Center for Women's Global Leadership (CWGL) on Rutgers University's Douglass Campus. Running from Nov 25 (Int'l Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women) to Dec 10 (Human Rights Day), the 16-day period reinforces the recognition of violence against women as a human rights violation. The civil society led campaign both allows feminist organizations to take steps to address gender-based violence (GBV) in their local communities and brings them into a collective demonstration that underscores how GBV is globally undermining the human security of women, girls, and members of the LGBT+ community across race, ethnicity, class, etc. Though CWGL was sunset in 2022, over 6000 organizations in 187 countries, including the UN, have utilized the Campaign, giving it a life of its own, and the Rutgers community reaffirms its support by sponsoring this panel series.
