Blue ~ The Colour of integrity and sincerity || Painter Babu Rishabh
It is an uphill task but we are strong and spirited people and together we can win this fight against gender violence
*************
Sakhi Kendra & Mahila Manch, Uttar Pradesh have marked the ‘16 Days of Activism’ with a groundswell of frontline and active campaigning in an effort to raise awareness on ‘ending violence against women’. A multi-pronged campaign named as 'We will change the world' : The 16 Days of Activism' on breaking the silence on violence and raise your voice for human rights was spread over those 16 Days throughout the world through our Digital Media coverage.
The campaign has started on 25th November, International Day for No Violence Against Women, and celebrated its closure on 10th December, International Human Rights Day at Gandhi Pratima, PhoolBagh, Kanpur.
Sakhi Kendra recognised that violence against women has many forms, however, for ‘16 Days of Activism 2018', we have focused on ‘violence at homes’ with particular emphasis on intimate partner violence, sex selective abortion, dowry, child marriage, and trafficking, rape. We have also shared some case studies, inspiring stories and shared the views of professionals, social reformers etc on various social issues like Rape culture, Educational disparity, dowry harassment, politics and women, youth and politics, Alcohol, Drugs and Youth and many more.
Sakhi Kendra has created awareness and conversations on the specific forms of violence and gender discrimination for the 16 Days with several objectives ::
To encourage all Indians to help eradicate violence against women and girls.
To combine technology, social media, the arts, journalism, religion, culture, business and activism in a bid to highlight the many ways in which violence devastates women and girls.
To encourage society to acknowledge that violence against women and girls is a social, rather than governmental, problem.
To encourage collective responsibility within communities to tackle violence against women and girls.
To expand accountability beyond the Justice, Crime Prevention and Security cluster to include all government clusters and provinces.
This year the campaign popularised the 'blue colour' as a symbol of personal and organisational commitment to the eradication of violence against women and girls. The blue colour dress or ribbon symbolises the commitment of the wearer to “never commit or condone violence against the vulnerable, and to speak out about violence where they see it”.
