As part of the 16 days of activism, which runs from the International Day to Eliminate Violence against Women (25th November) to the International Day for Human Rights (10th December), Million Women Rise are calling on women and girls to participate in a global action to demand an end to the continued, systematic violence against us.
During the Covid-19 lockdowns we have seen a sharp rise in violent attacks and subsequent murders of women. We also know over the last few months, many girls across the world are facing increased levels of harm and marginalisation.
In England alone, the national domestic violence helpline has reported a 700% surge in calls to their service; and to date 88 women have been killed in the UK as a result of men’s violence. Where services exist, they are struggling to cope with the demand.
Join us On 25th November In lifting our collective voices. Million Women Rise is calling on you to take action (if you are able to)
⁃ Join in raising awareness of the scale of abuse that women and girls are being subjected to in your area.
⁃ in your homes or wherever you are, Write a short message to raise awareness of violence against women and girls, and to demand and end to this injustice. The message could be information / statistics / stories from your locality, along with any one of the following hashtags #16days #endvawg #loudandunited. Our chosen hashtag is #neverforgotten and #whywerise to honour those women and girls who have sadly lost their lives to men’s violence.
