LWF participates in annual 16 Days Campaign 

LWF encourages its member churches and country programs to join the 16 Days Campaign to end violence against women and girls.

This annual campaign seeks to raise awareness about gender-based violence (GBV) and inspire action to prevent and respond to GBV when and where it happens.

The LWF has a long history of engagement in the 16 Days campaign, organizing events and supporting the activities of member churches and country programs around the globe.

The theme for this year’s campaign is ‘Unite! Activism to end violence against women and girls. The theme puts emphasis on women and girls who are the majority of those who experience gender-based violence. LWF will work together with ecumenical partners to give visibility to the global campaign at the Communion Office.
