OHCHR has been taking part in the UNiTE Campaign/16 Days of Activism every year with various activities and communications, providing support to field presences through the preparation of key messages and with the organization of joint events with partners. Every year, OHCHR commemorates the International Day for Women Human Rights Defenders as part of the UNiTE/16 Days campaign, highlighting the violence they face and the historical and present role they play in conflict prevention, conflict and post-conflict situations. OHCHR has made the case for sustained funding and support for women peacebuilders, including women human rights defenders, organisations, and movements, as an essential prerequisite for addressing and eliminating gender-based violence.
