For the UN 16 days of activism against Gender based violence campaign in 2024 A poster was designed based on the daily challenges of the 16 Days of Activism to raise awareness. The posters were distributed to all 12 of the Wakefield District Council and 5 of the 6 Community Libraries. Members were invited to visit the local libraries to see the posters in place and chat to staff.
This awareness raising campaign led on to a secondary campaign with the SIYAMS bookmarks highlighting safe relationships. Following the libraries receiving the 16 Days Activism Posters SI Wakefield and District were contacted and asked if the ‘Love Me Love Me Not’ bookmarks were available. These, and other bookmarks and safeguarding information were then delivered and distributed to the Wakefield District Libraries. Pictured are two of our members wearing it Orange to highlight the district wide campaign.
