We are sharing links to resources so you can explore how others are framing bodily autonomy; different approaches to organizing online and offline campaigns; and examples of other organizations’ past 16 Days campaigns. We hope these will spark new ideas and connections for your work. Send your suggestions for materials we should add at EndGBV@sph.cuny.edu.
