16 Days of Activism against Gender-based Violence

Press Release

November 27, 2024

Join the Department of Family Services and the Qulliit Nunavut Status of Women Council (QNSW) in marking the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence, a global campaign observed from November 25 to December 10, 2024, dedicated to preventing and eliminating violence against women, girls, and gender-diverse people.

This year’s theme, Come Together, Act Now, highlights the importance of everyone’s role – especially men and boys – in changing the social norms, attitudes, and behaviours that contribute to gender-based violence.

Gender-based violence isn’t just physical or sexual – it can also be emotional or financial. Recognizing the signs, speaking up, and creating safe spaces can make a meaningful difference for those in need.

The Government of Nunavut (GN) and the QNSW are committed to working together to end gender-based violence in our communities.

For more information and resources, visit the GN website or the QNSW website.

Let’s come together to build a safer and more equitable Nunavut.
