16 Days of Activism – Ending Digital Violence Against All Women and Girls

Today, the 25th of November, is International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women. This marks the start of 16 Days of Activism – a campaign to end gender-based violence. 

Over half of all women and girls world-wide have experienced some form of harassment online. The United Nation’s theme for 16 Days of Activism in 2025 is “UNiTE to End Digital Violence Against All Women and Girls”. At the University of Edinburgh, our Digital Safety work includes raising awareness and sharing support resources for those affected by ‘technology-facilitated violence against women and girls’. 

Over the coming 16 days we will highlight resources on Instagram (uoedigiskills) and the Digital Skills, Design and Training blog for anyone who experiences or supports someone experiencing gender-based violence in the digital realm. Watch this space for updates as we highlight facts, tools, and support contacts to create safer and kinder online spaces.

 

16 Days of Activism

Day 1: We are kicking things off with our existing collection of resources against Online Gender-Based Violence section on the Digital Safety, Wellbeing and Citizenship hub. We encourage you to share these widely to create safer and kinder online spaces.
