PRESS CONFERENCE - November 22, 2020 @ BCTF
The We Can B.C. Coalition launched its 16 Days of Activism campaign inviting citizens throughout B.C. to join with coalition partners and take action to stop violence against women. The coalition is modeled on the international "We Can" campaign taking place in six countries in South Asia seeking to trigger a person-to-person chain reaction of change in attitudes and behaviour on a scale sufficient to generate a mass social movement to end all violence against women.

The 16 Days of Activism
We would like to thank the community for your support during these 16 days and bringing more awareness about the seriousness of the issue of Violence Against Women.
The 16 Days of Activism Against Gender Violence began November 25, the International Day Against Violence Against Women and ran through to December 10, International Human Rights Day. These dates have been chosen to symbolically link violence against women with human rights violations and the 16 day period includes other significant dates such as:
November 29 - International Women Human Rights Defender Day, December 1 - World AIDS Day
December 3 - International Day of Disabled Persons
December 6 - the Anniversary of the Montreal Massacre.

Violence against women persists in every country throughout the world. Violence against women is not only a pervasive violation of fundamental human rights but it is also a significant impediment in realizing and achieving gender equality.
