Campaign Encourages Action Against Gender-Based Violence

Local initiative seeks community involvement during 16 Days of Activism

A new campaign by the charity Tender is inviting individuals and organisations to participate in the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence, running from 25 November to 10 December 2025. The campaign encourages people to share their thoughts on how to promote kindness, respect, and equality as part of efforts to prevent violence against women and girls.

How to Participate in the Campaign

The campaign provides a downloadable poster for participants to complete with their own messages. These messages can range from simple daily actions, such as checking in on a friend, to more organised efforts like leading projects in schools or workplaces. The aim is to create a ripple effect of understanding, empathy, and action within communities.

• Download the poster: Participants can download the campaign poster from Tender’s website.
• Write your message: Complete the sentence on the poster with ideas on how to contribute to a safer and kinder future.
• Take a photo: Individuals may choose to appear in the photo with their poster or let the poster stand alone. Creativity is encouraged.
• Share on social media: Post the photo on social media platforms and tag Tender using the following handles:
  • Instagram: @tenderuk
  • LinkedIn: @tender_3
  • Facebook: @TenderEducationArts
• Use hashtags: #PreventVAWG and #ACTtoEndViolence to join the global conversation.

The campaign highlights the importance of collective voices in standing against violence towards women and girls. By sharing messages and engaging in dialogue, participants contribute to raising awareness and encouraging change.
