Liberia Extends Activism Beyond Annual Campaign Against Gender-Based Violence

The global "16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence" campaign began on November 25. However, a writer in Liberia is calling for a permanent, year-round effort. The annual campaign runs until December 10. This year's theme focuses on ending digital violence against women and girls. Digital violence includes online harassment, abuse, and threats. While noting the modern theme is relevant, the observer expects the same limited activities. These often include marches, speeches, and social media posts. The critique argues that the format brings little lasting change. It concludes that true progress requires moving beyond 16 days of action to 365 days of sustained effort.
