The Power of Stories: Activism Against Gender Based Violence in Health
November 25, 2022 @ 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm
The 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence (GBV) is an annual international campaign that kicks off on 25 November, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, and runs until 10 December, Human Rights Day. It was started by activists in 1991 and continues to be coordinated each year by the Center for Women’s Global Leadership. It is used as an organizing strategy by individuals and organizations around the world to call for the prevention and elimination of violence against women and girls.
The health sector is not immune from GBV and many health workers face work-related violence and harassment. To highlight the depth of the problem within the sector, Women in Global Health and Surviving in Scrubs have been collecting stories from health sector workers globally and in the UK respectively.
Through this Twitter Chat we will share the Global and country specific experience of sexual exploitation, abuse and harassment (SEAH) among health sector workers to illustrate the power of storytelling in shaping policy and advocacy to end SEAH in global health.
