Introduction to 16 Days

Violence against women is traumatic to the body, mind and spirit and can prevent women from participating to the full extent of their potential in the workplace and at home, and in society in general.

16 days of Activism For No Violence Against Women and Children emphasizes the connection between women's rights, violence against women and women's health and the detrimental consequences vioence against women has on the well-being of the world as a whole.

We are a group of students at the University of Kwazulu-Natal, involved in the Clinical Law programme - and our assignment is

"Devise and Implement the 16 Days of Activism Campaign for 2006. Link your days to the UNAIDS theme"

This blog will provide further information, and will track our progress...
