The 16 Days of Action against Gender-Based Violence is an annual international campaign that kicks off on the 25th of November, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, and runs until the 10th of December, Human Rights Day.

The campaign has been running since 1991 and is used by individuals and organizations around the world to call for the prevention and elimination of violence against women and girls. The campaign asks people to take action over the 16 days.

In support of this civil society initiative, the United Nations Secretary-General launched in 2008 the campaign UNITE by 2030 to End Violence against Women, which runs parallel to the 16 Days of Activism.

Every year, the 16 days of action campaign focuses on a specific theme. There is also a different theme each year to mark White Ribbon Day on the 25th of November. Planning is already well underway here at NCC for this year's programme of events!

White Ribbon have announced that the theme for White Ribbon Day 2024 is "Its starts with men".

Violence against women and girls is rooted in harmful masculine norms. Starting with men, we must address the attitudes and behaviours that contribute to a fear of violence for women in their day-to-day lives.

This years White Ribbon Day is about encouraging men to hold themselves accountable to women, and to each other to change and transform harmful cultures and role model positive behaviour Gender equality is key to making this culture change happen. Gender equality is achievable if men and boys understand and assume their responsibility as allies.

In 2021 the county council made the decision to work towards White Ribbon accreditation to cement, as an authority, its commitment to ending domestic abuse and sexual violence in the county.

The White Ribbon Organisation is a charity that works to encourage everyone, and especially men and boys, to make the White Ribbon Promise to never commit, excuse or remain silent about violence against women and girls.

White Ribbon Ambassadors are men who engage with other men and boys in their day to day lives to call out abusive and sexist behaviour and White Ribbon Champions are women who play an essential role by encouraging men to get involved and in finding opportunities to inspire and inform others through presentations, conversations and social media.

Organisations across the county can to get involved and join the county council’s pledge to end domestic abuse.
