The International Day for the Elimination of Violence on November 25, also known as "International Orange Day", marks the start of the campaign and December 10, International Human Rights Day, marks the end. During these 16 days, landmarks around the world will be lit up in orange to show solidarity and send a visible signal for women's rights.
