Join the UN 16 Days of Activism Campaign: Resources available

From 25 November until 10 December, the United Nations 16 Days of Activism campaign unites people, communities and organisations to end violence against women and girls and challenge the harmful attitudes and behaviours that enable it. This year’s theme, ‘Ensure Justice. Protect Survivors. End Impunity.’, calls for greater accountability, stronger support for survivors, and action to prevent violence.

Resources available

If your organisation supports our vision of enabling everyone to live a life free from domestic abuse, please download our 16 Days of Activism media pack. Available to voluntary and statutory organisations across Essex, Thurrock and Southend, it includes social media content, an email signature and a Teams background.

These resources will help you support the 16 Days of Activism, raise awareness of domestic abuse and signpost people to available support.

If you have questions about the toolkit or need help using the resources, please contact us at domestic.abuseessex@essex.gov.uk.
