Our 16 Days of Activism opened powerfully on November 27, 2025, with an inspiring gathering of young women from underserved communities. This opening event created a safe and vibrant space for learning, mentoring and honest dialogue on violence, safety and empowerment. The conversation was bold. The questions were thoughtful. The energy in the room revealed that girls thrive when they have knowledge, community, and support.
This event did more than launch the global campaign for the year. It reaffirmed the purpose of the Safe Haven Foundation: to provide protection, guidance and opportunities for young women who are too often unseen or unheard. Each session, activity and interaction strengthened their confidence and amplified their voices at the very start of the 16 Days movement.
We extend our sincere appreciation to all the organizations that honored our invitation. Tabitha Empowerment Center. Elite Life Consulting. Daughters of Abraham. Auxano Foundation. Women and Girls with Albinism Network. Your partnership and solidarity enriched the programme and demonstrated a shared commitment to ending violence against women and girls, both online and offline. Your presence affirmed that collective action remains the strongest force against all forms of gender-based violence.
Together, we have set a firm foundation for the 16 Days of Activism. The momentum has begun and we intend to carry it forward with purpose, clarity and unwavering focus on protecting and empowering every girl.
