Anglicans worldwide join 16 Days of Activism against gender-based violence

From Christian Today-

Anglicans around the world are joining together in the 16 Days of Activism movement against gender-based violence.

The global initiative got underway on Sunday, which marked the International Day for the
Elimination of Violence Against Women, and will run until Human Rights Day on December 10.

16 Days is an initiative of The Center for Women's Global Leadership and has been held each year since 1991 with the aim of unifying people around the world in ending gender-based violence.
Gender-based violence can take on many forms, including forced marriages, sexual abuse, domestic abuse, sex-selective abortion and female genital mutilation.

The Anglican Communion is one of over 6,000 organisations in 187 countries taking part in 16 Days and during the campaign period, Anglican churches will be reflecting on the issue of gender-based violence and what action they can take to stamp it out.
