International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women
Wednesday 25 November 2026
This is is a global observance dedicated to raising awareness about and taking action to prevent violence against women and girls.
It marks the first day of 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence.
WSFWI will be hosting a series of public vigils to stand in solidarity with survivors and to call for change:
- Hassocks – 19 November, 4:00pm, Remembrance Garden
- Chichester – 25 November, 6:00–7:00pm, Chichester Cross
- Horsham – 25 November, 5:00–6:00pm, Bandstand in the Carfax
In addition, WSFWI will be present at Horsham Market on Saturday, 22 November, where they will be giving away White Ribbons to raise awareness of the Not in My Name campaign. This initiative invites men to pledge “never to use, excuse, or remain silent about men’s violence against women.”
Please stop by at any of these events to learn more and show your support.
