The 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence Campaign starts tomorrow!
This is from UNiTE!:
“The iconic Empire State Building and the United Nations building and large screens in Times Square in New York City will be lit orange! From marathons to film forums and marches, orange events have been planned around the world.
Check out stories, videos and other resources at UN Women’s website: http://ow.ly/EDJGx Each day we will be looking at how violence against women impacts development in a host of areas, including poverty, environment, economy, health, conflict, education and more!

We can’t wait to orange all neighbourhoods with actions to end violence against women and girls! Let’s go!
