✨ The 16 Days of Activism Is Coming, Be Ready and Stay Alert! ✊🧡

The annual 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence is approaching quickly, running from November 25 to December 10. This global campaign reminds us that the fight to end violence against women and girls is everyone’s responsibility   in our homes, communities, institutions, and now more than ever, online.

This year’s theme, “Unite to End Digital Violence Against All Women and Girls,” draws attention to the urgent rise of online abuse. Digital violence, including harassment, cyber stalking, image-based abuse, and online threats continues to harm countless women and girls, especially in vulnerable communities.

As part of this movement, the Ethiopian Network of Women’s Shelters (ENWS) stands committed to raising awareness, supporting survivors, and promoting safe online spaces. ENWS and its member shelters work every day to protect women and girls, advocate for stronger systems, and ensure survivors have access to safety, justice, and dignity , both offline and online.

As the campaign nears, let’s prepare to raise our voices loudly and clearly:

• Speak out against all forms of violence physical, emotional, and digital.
• Support survivors by amplifying their needs and stories.
• Promote digital safety and challenge harmful online behaviors.
• Join ENWS initiatives, events, and awareness activities throughout the 16 Days.

This is more than a campaign, it’s a movement.
It’s a call to action.
And ENWS is proud to be part of the frontline.

The 16 Days of Activism is coming. Be ready. Take a stand. Be part of the movement. 🧡
