Significantly, the event will promote the 16 Days of Activism for No Violence Against Women and Children under the theme: ‘Count me in, together moving a non–violent South Africa forward’. This is a campaign that takes place every year from 25 November to 10 December to raise awareness amongst South Africans about the negative impact of violence against women and children. South Africa adopted the campaign in 1998 as one of the intervention strategies towards creating a society free of violence.
