👉 Cornwall is uniting to combat violence against women and girls now and all year round. ✋ 16 Days of Action is an annual, international campaign which raises awareness of, and calls for an end to gender-based violence. ❎ It is estimated that 25% of women have experienced some form of gender-based abuse before the age of 16. In England and Wales 3,000 offences are recorded each day, with 1 in 12 women a victim of violence every year, and the actual number expected to be much higher. 💡The campaign supported by Cornwall Council runs from Monday 25 November to Tuesday 10 December.
