Form of Violence | Violence against women and girls |
This plan was developed in follow-up to the May 2006 365 Days of Action to End Gender Violence Conference that adopted the Kopanong Declaration in which a broad cross section of South Africans committed to a joint campaign for eradicating this gross human rights violation. The Kopanong Declaration envisaged that each year the Sixteen Day campaign on gender violence would become a platform both to heighten awareness and take stock of gaps and achievements, to ensure sustained, measurable efforts to end gender violence.
