The fight against gender-based violence is a 365 day commitment, but for 16 days each year, the global community unites to raise awareness, ignite conversations, and take action during the 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence.

In this special co-hosted episode with UN Women, we take a deep dive into the significance of this annual campaign and the critical work being done to address gender-based violence worldwide. We explore the lasting legacy of the Mirabal sisters, whose assassination in 1960 became the catalyst for this global movement, and we reflect on how the 16 Days campaign is more than just a period of awareness - it’s an invitation to reflect, act, and commit to lasting change.

Your guests are:
