16 Days of Activism Campaign Toolkit 2005

The 2005 16 Days of Activism Against Violence Against Women and Children Campaign Toolkit provides information about the event that will give the reader some ideas on getting involved in the annual 16 Days of Activism campaign.

The 16 Days of Activism Against Gender Violence is an international campaign. Participants chose the dates, November 25, International Day Against Violence Against Women and December 10, International Human Rights Day, in order to symbolically link violence against women and human rights and to emphasise that such violence is a violation of human rights. This 16-day period also highlights other significant dates including December 1, which is World AIDS Day, and December 6, which marks the Anniversary of the Montreal Massacre.

The Campaign Toolkit 2005 includes:

• Background to the campaign
• Who’s involved
• Campaign profile
• The logo and strapline, the website, events, cyber dialogues, postcard, and fundraising.
• How to get involved
• How to use the campaign branding
• Put policies in place to assist victims of violence.
