Violence: 19 Days of Activism for Prevention – Global campaign for prevention of abuse and violence against children and youth

The 19 Days Campaign is a WWSF initiative launched in 2011 by the Children-Youth Section and sponsored by the Women's World Summit Foundation - WWSF and other partners.

As a multi-issue coalition of diverse partners using the 19 Days Campaign as an organizing strategy in the fight against at least one of the 19 abuse/violence issues presented in the list of campaign themes, you help create a world fit for children by:

•  Raising public awareness of the multi-faceted problem of abuse and violence
•  Mobilizing agents for change, organizations, institutions and grassroots faith-based groups
•  Educating for better prevention measures
•  Strengthening local, national and international initiatives
•  Establishing collaboration with other campaign partners
•  Creating support at the national, regional and international level
•  Linking prevention with the Convention on the rights of the child and the UN Study on violence against children 
•  Lobbying governments to implement UN Study recommendations and in particular "prioritize prevention"
