16 Days/Gender-Based Violence

16 Days of Activism to End Gender-based Violence is an annual, international campaign to focus on stopping the abuse and violence experienced by women, girls, and other marginalized genders.

This global campaign runs every year from 25th November, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, to 10 December, Human Rights Day. GBV refers to many forms of harm, abuse, and harassment directed against someone on the basis of their gender or in the context of gendered power hierarchies.

GBV is unacceptable. At UHI and HISA, any gender-based violence is a severe breach of both the UHI Student Code of Conduct and HISA's Code of Conduct.

This year's campaign from UN Women is #noexcuse for online abuse.   You can read more about it here: UN Women No Excuse
