"16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence" Campaign in Bosnia and Herzegovina (25 November - 10 December 2023)

The campaign "16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence" is marked annually from 25 November (International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women) to 10 December (International Human Rights Day). It is part of the broader UNiTE campaign led by the United Nations Secretary-General, which calls on governments, media, women's rights organizations, youth, civil society, and the entire UN to fight violence against women and girls. This year's campaign was implemented with the support of Sweden, and in collaboration with numerous partners, government representatives, civil society organizations, artists, and influencers.

Raising awareness about the importance of involving the entire society in the fight against violence against women and girls was the primary goal of the campaign, carried out under the slogan "Turn off Violence Together". Through various activities, the campaign highlighted actions, measures, and initiatives undertaken in collaboration with various organizations from the government and non-government sectors that contributed to improving the position of survivors of gender-based violence, from regulating the legal framework to the economic empowerment of women. The campaign also focused on reviewing achievements in preventing gender-based violence and identifying future actions. Collaboration with influencers and artists conveyed the message that there is #NoExcuse for violence against women and girls.
