From 25th Novemeber - 10 December each year, 16 Days of Action against gender violence takes place.
During this time, activites, parades, workshops, etc take place. I'm usually actively involved in the organising of events in my area, but this year, unfortunately, my time has been limited 
I will be attending the final day parade however.
Here's an article from UK's Amnesty International Website:
16 Days of Activism against domestic violence
Domestic violence happens everywhere. It affects someone near you. At least 1 in 3 women has been beaten, coerced into sex, or otherwise abused in her lifetime. Usually, the abuser is a member of her own family or someone known to her.
Get active against domestic violence as part of the 16 Days of Activism.
Kicking off on November 25 - International Day Against Violence Against Women – make the human rights of women your business. For 16 days, until December 10 - Human Rights Day – you can take a different action every day. Tell the world about this human rights scandal and make governments act on their obligations to women.
Be an activist against domestic violence!
