November 25 is the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women – the first day of the global 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence Campaign (16 Days Campaign), which concludes on December 10 with International Human Rights Day.
Due to COVID-19 restrictions, rates of gender-based violence have increased in Alberta and across the world, making this campaign especially important this year.
