The #16DaysOfActivism campaign to end #GenderBasedViolence is a global movement to raise awareness and take action against the violence that disproportionately impacts women and girls worldwide. Action Against Hunger is leading the charge with a comprehensive approach, including gender analysis, survivor-centred support, and efforts to build resilient community networks for prevention. These actions are essential in creating lasting change and ensuring that survivors receive the care and support they need. It’s time to unite and say: #NoExcuse for violence. Every action we take, no matter how small, makes a difference in building a world free from gender-based violence. Let’s continue to advocate for change, educate, and empower individuals and communities to act.

Alvin Munyasia, our Advocacy and Communications Specialist, has highlighted the critical need to enhance sustainable farming practices and promote the cultivation of local foods to improve resilience, nutrition, and livelihoods. "As an international humanitarian organization, our primary focus is treating malnutrition. In Africa, we face significant challenges in achieving dietary diversity. Many people struggle to afford healthy diets, which is why it is essential to produce food locally," Mr. Munyasia stated during a panel discussion on locally led climate adaptation and the revival of local foods at the ongoing Climate Change Conference in Baku, Azerbaijan.
