In the last three decades\, we have seen the 16 days be a cat alyst for raising awareness about systemic violence that is rooted in patr iarchy\, misogyny and sexism. The 16 days allows us to connect with commun ity members worldwide seeking to advance and broaden an understanding of w omen’s rights\, trans and gender-diverse rights and gender-based violenc e and the action required to end it.\n\nThe IIWR-MB hopes that these 16 Da ys will remind you of the folks in our communities who show up every day a nd continue to work to make the dream of a violence-free world possible. W e invite you to join us as we “Orange the World” by wearing a ribbon o r an orange piece of clothing\, lighting up your home\, workplace or socia l media orange\, and taking part by supporting those working every day to end gender-based violence. Follow along on Instagram\, Facebook LinkedIn or Twitter to see what we are sharing!
