The 16 Days of Activism Against GenderBased Violence is a global campaign observed annually from 25 November to 10 December, beginning on the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women and concluding on Human Rights Day.

The campaign aims to raise awareness and inspire collective action to end all forms of violence against women and girls.

This year, in line with this, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), together with its key partners through ongoing flagship project initiatives, is taking a unique, never-before-seen approach to advocacy. 'Through Her Eyes, quoder, அவளின் பார்வையில்' narrates the heart-wrenching journey of 'Sara' in her search for justice through multi-medium storytelling that merges stage theatre, film and creative audio production techniques.

'Through her eyes' is in line with three UNDP Sri Lanka projects; Enabling Access to Justice for Victim-Survivors of SGBV in Sri Lanka funded by the Government of Canada and implemented together with UNFPA Sri Lanka; the Support to Justice Sector Project (JURE) funded by the European Union in partnership with the Ministry of Justice, and implemented together with UNICEF Sri Lanka; and the Action and Anticipation for The New Agenda for Peace (AAA) supported through UNDP's Funding Windows with funding from the Governments of Denmark, Luxembourg and the Republic of Korea.
