Given the frequency with which I've been posting about IPV and domestic homicide lately, I wanted to share some good news about gender violence:
The Center for Women's Global Leadership at Rutgers University has kicked off a campaign called 16 Days of Activism to End Gender Violence. Why 16 days? The campaign begins on November 25th, International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, and ends on December 10th, International Human Rights Day, in an effort to "symbolically link" violence against women and human rights violations.
Want to get involved? Check out the online action kit, or the violence against women bibliography, and spread the word.
Thanks to Feministing for the link.

I just plugged it into SPSS - the number of days between November 25th and December 19th is more than 16 (its 24). Maybe we aren't required to work on ending gender violence on holidays or weekends?
LOL! It was a type-o -- should read Dec 10. Thanks -- I'll fix it now!
