The 16 days of activism urges global recognition of gender-based violence. It starts on Nov 25, to commemorate the lives of the Mirabal sisters from the Dominican Republic who were violently assassinated in 1960. The days also include a commemoration to the lives of 14 women who were massacred on Dec 6, 1989 at Montreal's École Polytechnique, because of their gender.
Over the course of 16 days, the Learning Network will share content on their social media, spotlighting resources focused on the following themes: Learning From Survivors, Recognizing Gender Inequity, and Taking an Intersectional and Strengths-Based Approach.
