16 Days Of Advocacy Against Gender-Based Violence : #GBVTeachin #16Days

Hilary Burrage

Curious about the intersectional nature of gender-based violence, about how all these aspects interact and interconnect? Throughout the 16 Days of Activism, activists will be convening a #16Days Twitter based #GBVTeachin on various topics.

My own contribution will be on Friday 5 December, via Tweets from my @NoFGM_UK account.

Do please follow me and all my fellow contributors, and join our debates whenever you can. (The whole programme is published below; to read it in larger print simply click on the items you want to look at.)

Share the line up with those in your network, and remember to use the hashtags #16Days and #GBVTeachin so we know you’re out there!
