16 Days Penzance is a grassroots campaign group bringing our community together to help end violence against women and girls. Each year, they take part in the global 16 Days of Activism campaign – a UN Women initiative running from 25 November to 10 December. We aim to raise awareness, spark conversations, and create change, right here in Cornwall. ​ Together as a community, we are sending a strong, visible message: Penzance does not accept violence against women and girls.
