Readers, I would like to share this information to you. This cause has played a very significant role to our women.

From 25 November till 10 December 10, the Center for Women’s Global Leadership will lead again a global campaign against gender violence.

Since 1991, the 16 Days Campaign has helped to raise awareness about gender violence and has highlighted its effects on women globally.
