This year’s 16 Days theme is, “From Peace in the Home to Peace in the World: Let’s Challenge Militarism and End Violence Against Women!”

Given how much this theme parallels our Women Dismantling Militarism initiative, we thought what better way to participate in 16 Days than to share the inspiring stories of 16 courageous women’s groups working for peace around the world.

The campaign starts November 25, International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, and ends 16 days later on December 10th, International Human Rights Day. Since 1991, over 3,700 organizations from 164 countries have supported 16 Days.
