Ending violence against women & girls

We are 16 Days Penzance, a grassroots campaign group bringing our community together to help end violence against women and girls. Each year, we take part in the global 16 Days of Activism campaign – a UN Women initiative running from 25 November to 10 December. We aim to raise awareness, spark conversations, and create change, right here in Cornwall. Find out more

Together as a community, we are sending a strong, visible message: Penzance does not accept violence against women and girls.

What's on

Each year, organisations and individuals within our community host and organise a range of events to raise awareness of 16 Days of Activism from 25th November - 10th December. Events will be added very soon so keep checking back, sign up to our newsletter at the bottom of this page, or follow us on social media for updates.

Events coming soon...

From our solidarity walk and vigil, to person safety classes, to dance nights - expect a wide range of events that offer our community the chance to come together while raising awareness of our campaign to end violence against women and girls.
