your protection doesn’t protect me
In 2021 (see below) and 2022, CREA led the digital advocacy campaign ‘Your Protection Doesn’t Protect Me’ with the Women Gaining Ground (WGG) consortium. The campaign launched on 25th November of each year to mark the 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence (GBV).
The campaign’s key message was to call for rights-based solutions instead of protectionist approaches for preventing and responding to GBV. The campaign aimed to highlight how girls and women, including those with disabilities, trans and non-binary persons are indispensable change-makers when they are empowered to explore, discuss, and act on GBV issues both locally and globally.
Both campaigns (2021 and 2022) were undertaken in English, Hindi, and Bengali to reflect the diverse languages across the WGG focus countries.
