Women abuse is a dark subject. It happens in the dark. And all too often, it stays in the dark. It’s been in the dark for far too long. So for 16 days, we are shining a light on women abuse…– and keeping it there because it is only with constant illumination that the subject will remain in focus, instead of receding into the background, only to be revived when it makes headlines.
Follow our journey into the light this 16 Days of Activism. Join us in remembering the women we’ve lost, in celebrating the lives they led, giving hope and help to those who are still in abuse situations – and taking a step beyond because remembering isn’t enough.
There are many ways to join the fight:
