16 days of activism against gender based violence 2025
The 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence is an annual international campaign that starts on 25 November, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, and runs until 10 December, Human Rights Day.
As we mark the 16 days, our charity is proud to stand alongside survivors, communities, and partners in the global movement to end violence against women and girls. Throughout the campaign, we will be hosting a range of events designed to raise awareness, deepen understanding, and inspire meaningful action. From educational workshops and community engagement activities to powerful survivor-led conversations, each event aims to strengthen support networks and foster a culture of safety, respect, and equality. Together, we can challenge harmful attitudes, shine a light on the realities of domestic abuse, and work towards a future where every woman and girl lives free from violence.
The Halo Code
As part of our dedication to Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion which includes anti-racist practice? We are excited to announce that ESDAS has adopted The Halo Collective - Code, the UK's first Black hair code. No Black employee, volunteer or trustee should have to change their natural or protective hairstyle in order to thrive at work. We hope that the Halo Code will move us one step closer to a world free from discrimination, where all Black members of our community have their identities fully recognised and celebrated.
