It takes place every year from 25 November (International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women) to 10 December (International Human Rights Day).
The period includes Universal Children’s Day and World AIDS Day.
We are firmly committed to leading a coordinated effort to sustain the campaign into the next decade.
Every year, government, civil-society organisations and the business sector work together to broaden the impact of the campaign.
By supporting this campaign, thousands of South Africans have also helped to increase awareness of abuse and strengthen support for victims and survivors of abuse.
What can you do?

Many women and children are still not aware of their rights on reporting abuse. I hope this campaign raises enough awareness to combat all forms of abuse. It’s sad that 1 in every 6 women in Gauteng are killed by their intimate partner. And most of these cases are not reported coz of fear of further violence
This will be a great event Mrs Marcia,and for sure we will reach many more young ladies who are walking in silence out there....
May God bless it more....
