We’ll be hosting a series of events and campaigns throughout this year's 16 Days of Action against Gender-Based Violence campaign.
If at any point you need to quickly leave this page, you can hit escape to return to the landing page.
This campaign page, and pages it links to, contains information about sexual assault and gender-based violence which may be triggering to survivors.
It is an annual international campaign to end gender-based violence started by activists at the inauguration of the Women’s Global Leadership Institute in 1991.
Every year we take part in 16 Days campaign which starts on November 25th, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, and runs until December 10th, Human Rights Day.
Every year as part of the 16 Days campaign Fight for the Night is held. This is an organised march through Glasgow's streets to demand action to make these safer and show solidarity with all survivors of rape and sexual assault.
In 2024 following the march a piece of art was created by attendees. The intention of the project was to create an outlet for the collective expression of all those post ‘Fight for the Night’ feelings. We offered a safe space for exploration of the energy collected on the march. Facilitation focused on the participant's processes using some therapeutic techniques when engaging with the difficult emotions.
Thanks to the Glasgow School of Art who hosted the piece at their 16 Days Exhibition.
Exhibition details
The group brought in feelings which for some participants were too hard to name, but were referred to as purple, pink and red. Participants were encouraged to work with those colours as expression of the feelings around Gender Based Violence. This turned into a pluralistic space with many voices exploring their personal circumstances through the prism of socio-politics, gender, race, and the unconscious.
The whole piece was assembled by the participants there and then, and it resulted in creating a dynamic work, exploding with personal statements and emotions which from ‘I’ morphed into ‘Us’.
If you are part of a charity, network or organisation and want to get involved with the campaign, march or host an event during 16 Days please get in touch with us.
