16 Days Of Activism

The 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence is an annual international campaign. This session with Ayan will start to understand the layers of GBV.

We will explore the life cycle of women and girls by focusing on the many experiences women face in forming their identity and right to live fully. From the time of birth and well into adulthood, who we should be, how we should be and what we should be is influenced by how our societies function and are structured. Our spaces are androcentric and this workshop seeks to dismantle the patriachal normalisation of how women are treated throughout their life span.

We will cover:

• An awareness of how family life, education and work spaces reinforce limitations placed on women and girls
• Systemic dialogue and examples of how our attitudes normalise gender-based violence and discrimination
• Co-creation of practical tools that can be applied directly post-workshop
