16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence is an international campaign to challenge violence against women and children. First initiated in 1991 by the first Women's Global Leadership Institute at Rutgers University, now reaching awareness globally, including Nelson Mandela University and its alumni. 

 

As the University kicked off its 16 Days of activism for “No violence against women and children #moving from awareness to accountability campaign”, alumni made their voices heard by sharing their views on the global issue affecting South Africa, Africa and the world.
