THE global movement of 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence starts on November 25 to December 10 and the Jes Foord Foundation is on a continuous mission to help and support victims of gender-based violence.
This year, the foundation will partner with the Angels Care Centre and embark on a 16-day #ActivismRoadShow from the Upper Highway area through to Howick.

“Our aim is to reach as many schools as we can along the way – to create awareness about this movement, gender-based violence as a whole, and to reach as many victims as we can in need of our help and support,” said the foundation.
According to the foundation, the campaign is the one time a year that the world shines a spotlight on the biggest issues society fights against on a daily basis.
“There is strength in numbers, and the more individuals we can get on board to participate in and support #16DaysofActivism, the more we can honour this international movement and all of the survivors who it’s geared towards helping,” said the foundation.
