The International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women is marked every year around the world on 25th November, and is followed by 16 days of activism; a campaign to end gender-based violence. Orange the World<\/a> is led by the United Nations to mark awareness of the campaign, which ends on Human Rights Day on 10th December. Buildings and organisations all over the world take part every year, by lighting up orange in an act of solidarity for the campaign and as a public call to action. This year\u2019s campaign is on our doorstep with the Soroptimists arranging the lighting up of Cartmel Priory and Barrow Town Hall clock\u00a0 for the 16 Days and\u00a0 the Hoad monument in Ulverston on November 25th and Dec 10th only.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is an opportunity to raise awareness at a local, national and International level about violence against women and girls.<\/p>\n
