16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence

The Ontario Association of Chiefs of Police (OACP) is pleased to support the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence annual campaign dedicated to ending gender-based violence. The campaign started on November 25 on the International Day for Elimination of Violence Against Women and ends on December 10, World Human Rights Day, and also encompasses the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women on December 6.

1. A guide for campaign distribution
2. recommended campaign content distribution schedule
3. campaign media files, and
4. sample campaign analytics template
