For the past eleven years, over 1,000 individuals and organisations from over 100 countries have sponsored activities in their communities during the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender Violence, November 25 - December 10, to raise awareness about all forms of violence against women. The 16 Days of Activism Against Gender Violence has become an annual event in many towns, states and regions. Activists have used this 16-day period to create a solidarity movement that raises awareness around gender based violence as a human rights violation. The movement works to ensure better, protection for survivors of violence and calls for the elimination of all forms of violence against women.

Growing out of the Global Centre's first Women's Global Leadership Institute in 1991, the Campaign links violence against women and human rights, emphasising that all forms of violence, whether perpetrated in the public or private sphere The private sphere is the complement or opposite of the public sphere. Heidegger argues that it is only in the private sphere that one can be one's authentic self.
