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. See the full programme and follow us on social media for updates.
