The BFLA is having a flag design competition for the 16 days of Activism against Gender Based Violence.  It's open to youths between 13 and 24.

 

"As a part of the 2018 16 days of Activism activities, Belize Family Life Association (BFLA) is inviting young persons between the ages of 13 and 24 to participate in a flag design competition. The flag will be a representation of the 16 days of activism which is an international campaign to challenge violence against women and girls.


The campaign runs every year from November 25th, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, to December 10th, Human Rights Day. The winning design will be replicated and produced to be displayed during the 16 Days of Activism 2018, through the support of the 16 Days of Activism Planning committee and other partners. The
purpose of this activity is to raise awareness on the issues surrounding Gender Based Violence particularly as faced by women and youth and to encourage a dialogue among young persons on the importance of speaking up against Gender Based Violence.

UB's Anti Street Harassment Campaign

UB's Anti Street Harassment Campaign | Cayo Scoop!  The Ecology of Cayo Culture | Scoop.it

UB is participating in The 16 Days of Activism Against Gender Violence by having seminars this week at all campuses.  There will also be female self defense classes in Cayo and Benque on Friday.

 

"The 16 Days of Activism Against Gender Violence is an international campaign originating from the first Women's Global Leadership Institute sponsored by the Center for Women's Global Leadership in 1991. Participants chose the dates, November 25, International Day Against Violence Against Women and December 10, International Human Rights Day, in order to symbolically link violence against women and human rights and to emphasize that such violence is a violation of human rights."
