Activists around the world have been marking 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence – an annual international campaign to raise awareness of the issue of gender-based violence (GBV) and to call for the prevention and elimination of violence against women and girls. In solidarity with the 16 Days campaign, we look back at the rich history of research that has been published over the last 50 years in the IDS Bulletin which has highlighted the work that IDS and partners do towards gender justice.
