From November 25th to December 10, the world unites to combat gender-based violence during the 16 Days of Activism. This annual campaign, initiated in 1991, aims to raise awareness and inspire action to end violence against women and girls. Throughout these days we, at The Daily Star, through our print and digital platforms, are highlighting the ongoing issue of gender-based violence in Bangladesh, exploring the root causes of this pervasive problem, and shedding light on the tireless efforts of individuals and organisations working towards a more equitable future.
