Women suffer from myriad forms of violence in their everyday lives anything from rape and sexual harassment to child marriage to female genital mutilation/cutting to 'honor' killings. Every year between the International Day to End Violence Against Women (November 25th) and Human Rights Day (December 10th) the campaign 16 Days to End Violence Against Women takes place highlighting the many ways that women experience violence and connects women's rights to human rights. This year the United Nations Population Fund is focusing on 16 forms of violence against women and highlighting 16 ways to prevent it.
