Residents, local organisations and professionals are taking part in a series of events in Hackney marking the UN’s 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence. 

Activities during the campaign include online training for professionals, creative workshops, public campaigns and an art exhibition. 

The aim of the campaign is to improve understanding of harmful behaviour, share approaches to supporting groups most at-risk of gender-based violence and raise awareness about the support available.
