CFUW National​ along with local clubs including ​Welland and District ​are again this year supporting ​The 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence​. This campaign begins this week on ​Thursday, November 25 ​and continues until December 10th.

​International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women and Girls​. The Campaign was started at the inaugural Women’s Global Leadership Institute in 1991, as a strategy to call for the prevention and elimination of violence against women and girls.

The UN Secretary-General’s UNiTE by 2030 to End Violence against Women campaign is marking the 16 Days of Activism against Gender-based Violence (25 November to 10 December 2020) under the global theme, “Orange the World: Fund, Respond, Prevent, Collect!“.

In support, the City of Welland will light the Main St Bridge on Thursday, November 25 in ​ORANGE​.

Please join members of CFUW wearing ​ORANGE ​at 5pm on the EAST side of the bridge to safely acknowledge the beginning of the 16 Days of Activism.
