• In all refugee camps and internally displaced persons (IDPs) sites across South Sudan, UNHCR and its partners commemorated the annual 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence with a series of activities including processions, dissemination of key messages on ending child marriage, drama performances, sports and song singing that call to take action on Elimination of Violence against Women and highlight the importance of education for both girls and boys. The 16 Days of Activism campaign runs from 25 November, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, and ends on 10 December with observance of the Human Rights Day.
