Subject and Association Descriptionhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/16_Days_of_Activism_against_Gender-based_Violence:
The Global 16 Days Campaign is an international campaign to challenge violence against women and girls. The campaign runs every year from 25th November, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, to 10 December, Human Rights Day. Originally called the "16 Days of Activism Against Gender Violence" campaign, it was initiated in 1991 by the first Women's Global Leadership Institute, held by the Center for Women's Global Leadership (CWGL), at Rutgers University. Since 1991, more than 6,000 organizations from approximately 187 countries have participated in the campaign [continues].

Every year as part of the 16 Days campaign Fight for the Night is held. This is an organised march through Glasgow's streets to demand action to make these safer and show solidarity with all survivors of rape and sexual assault. This year following the march a piece of art was created by attendees. The intention of the project was to create an outlet for the collective expression of all those post ‘Fight for the Night’ feelings. We offered a safe space for exploration of the energy collected on the march. Facilitation focused on the participant's processes using some therapeutic techniques when engaging with the difficult emotions.
