I truly do enjoy the planning portion of it and getting to be creative with the different activities for each day. For those who don\u2019t know, \u201c16 Days of Activism\u201d is a campaign designed by the United Nations to bring attention to gender-based violence. The campaign consists of 16 days of events and includes coverage on social media. This year I decided to make it a social media campaign because I believed it would be most effective in a generation where most of us are connected to the Internet.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-852\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/landishouse\/files\/2018\/12\/16-days-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/officeofequityandinclusivity\/files\/2018\/12\/16-days-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/officeofequityandinclusivity\/files\/2018\/12\/16-days-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/officeofequityandinclusivity\/files\/2018\/12\/16-days-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>The campaign is a great one for a college campus specifically because issues like gender-based violence aren\u2019t often discussed and some students don\u2019t feel comfortable speaking up. That\u2019s why I thought it would be ideal to implement a group discussion for our final event. Students being able to have the space to give their opinion or share their personal experience is very important for a campaign like this. The goal of the campaign is to bring awareness but to also support those who are currently going through gender-based violence or have in their past.<\/p>\n<p>I enjoy getting to organize the campaign because I always learn something new; this year having the opportunity to facilitate a discussion is very rewarding. I believe that every year more students on campus will become more involved with and aware of the campaign. Being able to take part in it is an experience and a learning process I have enjoyed.<\/p>\n<p>Written by Zina Ettangi \u201920, WGRC student worker<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is my second year organizing the \u201c16 Days of Activism\u201d Campaign for the Women\u2019s and Gender Resource Center.
