November 25, 2023. Delhi based non profit organization CEQUIN which stands for Centre for Equity & Inclusion (CEQUIN) kicks off the international campaign for 16 Days of Activism Against Gender Based Violence with a public gathering titled Hain Haq Hamara Hissedaari | है हक़ हमारा हिस्सेदारी. The event brings together over 20 grassroots based community organizations working with youth and women under the open skies of Delhi to amplify the message of ‘Ending Violence against women, girls and all across the gender spectrum’. Through the collective powerful slogans and messaging, street performances like nukkad nataks, songs and flash mobs the community of activists will occupy public spaces and come together to call for gender equity.
16 Days of Activism
16 Days of Activism Against Gender Based Violence, is an annual international campaign that kicks off on 25 November, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women and Girls, and runs until 10 December, International Human Rights Day. This year’s theme by UN Women is UNITE ! Invest to Prevent Violence Against Women and Girls – calling on citizens to share their actions to create a world free from violence towards women, and on governments worldwide to share how they are investing in gender-based violence prevention.

The public event “Hai Haq Hamara Hissedari” was planned earlier when 15 grassroot based organizations were brought together by CEQUIN to galvanize civil society to launch the 16 Days of Activism campaign.
At a press statement released earlier the organization threw light on the long distance India is yet to cover to attain gender equality. According to a recent study in the Lancet Regional Health – Southeast Asia 2023; despite our efforts to advance gender equity, India will not meet the target on SDG -5 of Gender Equality by as late as 2090, and for nearly 1/3rd of districts in the country, this goal will never be met in the foreseeable future . Violence against women and girls remains one of the most prevalent and pervasive human rights violations in the world. Despite many countries passing laws to combat violence against women, weak enforcement and discriminatory social norms remain significant problems. 736 million women, almost 1 in 3, have been subjected to physical and/or sexual intimate partner violence, non-partner sexual violence, or both, at least once in their lives (UN Women). In post-pandemic India, the status of girls and women remains a concern – with low rate of women’s workforce participation (24%), worrying health indicators (Anemia risen to 59%), increase in violence (15% rise since 2021) and the highest number of child brides ( India accounts for 40% of the world’s 60 million child brides),
“The history of the Women’s Movement in India towards gender equity is replete with path breaking legislations like the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act 2005, The Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013 and many others. The passing of the landmark judgment on the Women’s Reservation Bill 2023 is both a cause for celebration and a moment to ask ourselves – Who have we left behind? And, what will it take to make the women’s movement truly inclusive, as a platform to extend solidarity to all those across the gender spectrum?” Lora K. Prabhu, Co-founder and Managing Director CEQUIN, said in a press statement.
Sara Abdullah Pilot, Co-Founder and Chairperson CEQUIN added that, “Over the years many collectives and organizations have built this movement of gender justice through common networks, collaborations and constant support. What binds us together, is our collective vision and efforts towards a gender just and equal world, where the most vulnerable communities have a seat at the table, a voice. We believe that equitable access and participation in decision making – from the home, to the streets, in the workplace, and in the parliament – हिस्सेदारी is the need of the hour.”
Shedding light on the key role played by stakeholders, Shilpa Bisht, Executive Director, Centre for Health and Social Justice said, “The role of men is vital in promoting non-violence in the family & the positive well-being of women, girls, and other family members. To break the cycle of violence we need more empathetic men in our society “.
