The 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence is a yearly campaign that is held between November and December dedicated to creating public awareness about violence against women and girls. Programmes, departments and teams across the SSI organisation all banded together through various activities to commemorate and raise awareness about 16 Days of Activism of Gender Based Violence (GBV).
The commemorations started with SSI Letlhakane teaming up with Peacecorps Botswana to raise awareness about the impact of GBV in the Letlhakane community. Our SSI Psychosocial Support Unit took up the baton and hosted a solitary march with Mochudi Police Station and stakeholders to play their part in the fight against GBV. As the commemorations winded down to a close, the USAID funded programme D.R.E.A.M.S. team and D.R.E.A.M.S. girls came together to make their mark to ‘Orange the World’ and stop gender-based violence in their respective communities through an informative and engaging workshop.
Let’s #OrangeTheWorld and end violence against women and children now!
