16 Days of Activism: The Sterling One Foundation hosts movie screening to raise awareness

The screening, which was held at Ebonylife Cinemas, also featured an interactive session that allowed viewers to share their thoughts on what could be done to reduce violence against women and girls, drawing insights from their various communities.

Annually, the United Nations marks the “16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence” campaign, which kicks off on November 25 and runs until December 10, to get more people to participate in ending the abuse of women in all its forms. The campaign, formally acknowledged in 1999, focuses on raising public awareness and influencing policy to combat discriminatory practices and defend women’s rights in all communities.
