16 Days of Activism
16 Days of Activism is an annual, international campaign which raises awareness of, and calls for an end to gender-based violence. It is estimated that 25% of women have experienced some form of gender-based abuse before the age of 16. In England and Wales 3,000 offences are recorded each day, with 1 in 12 women a victim of violence every year, with the actual number expected to be much higher.
The campaign runs from Monday 25 November, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, and finishes on Tuesday 10 December, Human Rights Day.

As part of 16 days there will be a CLEAR Voices exhibition of artwork and poetry at 8 Cathedral Lane. Having a voice and being heard is important in a journey of recovery - sometimes that voice is expressed creatively, through play, music, art or poetry. The CLEAR Voices exhibition is provided through the art and words of children and adults supported by CLEAR. We are hugely grateful to all contributors for their courage, talent and for the journey they have been on.
Pop in to 8 Cathedral Lane from 27th to 30th November to visit our exhibition.
- Wednesday 27th - 5pm to 9pm
- Thursday 28th - noon to 4pm
- Friday 29th -10am to 4pm
