It’s Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women #IDEVAW & start of #16daysofactivism. In line with this years theme we’ve launched a digital art campaign #UniteActivism365Days in partnership with Hopetraining designed by Dizzy Lou illustrations sponsored by Royal Borough of Greenwich
This campaign features 12 phenomenal Women tackling #GenderBasedAbuse in Greenwich & will be displayed publicly on the big screen in the centre of Woolwich once a day during the #16DaysOfActivism
“25th November marks the 1st day out of the 16 days of activism against gender based violence. 16 days is not enough to highlight the scary statistic of violence against women. It’s time to get rid of this & take a stand & say ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. #sabinanessa #EndViolenceAgainstWomen”
Jebina Islam, The Sunflower Circle Co-founder and Female rights Campaigner
“We hope that this campaign will inspire those that see it as they pass by it, to know how much they can be part of tackling #GenderBasedAbuse by challenging harmful behaviours within the community when they see it! #EnoughIsEnough“
Annie Gibbs, Amour Destine Founder and Female rights & Diversity Campaigner
We are committed to #UniteActivism365Days of the year to ensure issues affecting all women can be seen, heard & no one stands alone because we walk in solidarity against #GenderBasedAbuse. Through the Sunflower Circle, we will work with the Council to tackle violence against women and girls, and act as an ongoing critical friend for the wider Safer Greenwich Partnership which includes the police. The Sunflower Circle has helped feed into the new Women’s Safety Plan, and contains a moving pen portrait of Sabina Nessa, written by her sister, Jebina Islam.
