Tuesday 25 November until Wednesday 10 December 2025 marks 16 Days of Activism to End Gender‑based Violence.

The campaign runs every year and this year the theme is: UNiTE to End Digital Violence against All Women and Girls.

Violence against women and girls affects one in three women worldwide. It is a serious human rights issue and we are committed to helping it end.

As the world marks the 30th anniversary of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action, one of the most important international agreements on women’s rights, the UN Secretary‑General’s UNiTE 2025 campaign highlights one of the fastest‑growing forms of abuse: digital violence. The campaign also reminds us that digital safety is an essential part of achieving gender equality.

You can follow the Student Wellbeing Team on Instagram @universityofsussexwellbeing to see updates on how the campaign is developing. 

The Students’ Union is hosting events such as banner making for Reclaim the Night and a panel discussion on the intersection of disabilities and gender‑based violence. A full programme is available on Students' Union website.
