From Anupama Srinivasan

Prajnya  is a Chennai-based non-profit, working on areas related to peace, justice and security.

Between 25 November and 10 December every year, Prajnya organises the 16 Days Campaign against Gender Violence. Through this campaign, we look to raise awareness of the different ways in which women in particular are vulnerable to violence, at home, at their place of work, on campuses and in public spaces.Over 16 days, we conceptualise and organise 16 different programmes, at different locations across the city, with different partners and for different audiences.

We do this through a broad, inclusive, structural and human rights approach to gender‐based violence; by forging partnerships to create a network for action; by involving diverse audiences including educational institutions, corporate groups and civil society organisations; and by working with innovative media and programme formats.

Violence against women isn’t a private concern. It affects every single one of us at every stage of life. For this reason, the 16 Days Campaign is a collective exercise that we undertake with our partners, our volunteers and our friends!

Please support the campaign with a donation. And of course, please spread the word!

If you would like to volunteer or make a donation, please write to us at prajnya.16days@gmail.com

THANK YOU!!
