16 Days of Action 2024
While gender-based violence impacts all genders, women are disproportionately the victims/survivors of it. In Ireland, 71% of callers to the 24-hour National Rape Crisis Helpline in 2023 were women (DRCC Annual Report 20223)
The 16 Days of Activism is an opportunity to raise awareness and show support for those who experience Gender-Based Violence. This global campaign allows us to show solidarity among those working to prevent gender-based violence, to strengthen the work being done, and to call for action from those who can effect change.
This year’s theme is #NoExcuse: UNITE to End Violence against Women. There is no excuse for sexual violence. We all have a role to play in creating a society where there is no tolerance for sexual violence and all survivors are supported.
