16 Days of Activism: UNiTE to End Digital Violence Against Women and Girls

16 Days of Activism 2025

UNiTE to End Digital Violence Against All Women and Girls

The 16 Days of Activism is a global campaign to end gender-based violence, held from 25 November to 10 December.

This year, we join UN Women in highlighting the urgent and growing threat of digital violence — from online harassment and stalking to image-based abuse. The campaign calls for awareness, action, and collective responsibility to end all forms of violence against women and girls.

One in three women experiences violence. It is a global human rights emergency that must stop.

As the world marks 30 years of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action, we are reminded that digital safety is essential to achieving gender equality.

Standing Together: Our 2025 Campaign

Standing Together is proud to lead a powerful programme of events throughout the 16 Days of Activism. We are bringing together voices and expertise from across our Housing, Training, Health, Policy, Criminal Justice, Data, MARAC, DHR, and CCR teams — and from partners across the sector.

Together, we’re shining a light on how digital abuse affects women and girls across every system, and driving forward collective action to create safer digital and real worlds for all.

National Managed Reciprocal Scheme for Survivors of Domestic Abuse

In response to feedback from local authorities and housing associations, Standing Together and Clarion Housing Association are collaborating to explore the implementation of a National Managed Reciprocal Scheme. This initiative is designed to help survivors of domestic abuse move safely and access secure housing more efficiently.

The scheme aims to:

  • Help survivors avoid homelessness or reduce time spent in temporary accommodation.

  • Provide a pathway to stable, safe housing for those in dangerous home environments.

  • Complement existing Housing Options and regional managed reciprocal schemes.

This project represents a formal collaboration between social housing providers across England, creating a supportive framework for both survivors and landlords while making better use of available housing stock.

Click here to watch the recording of the webinar to learn more about the scheme, or click here to fill in the survey to share your feedback.

Our new webinar series will cover the major issues affecting housing and domestic abuse sectors, bringing you best practice examples from the experts to enable you to build your knowledge and awareness

These webinars are designed for any housing professional or domestic abuse specialist who would like to learn more about housing and DA. 

These webinars are free to members and £25 for non-members

As part of our DAHA Membership offer we deliver a series of free workshops to members on each priority area within DAHA's Accreditation Framework

These workshops are for members only - if you are not a member please have a look at our DAHA Webinar series 

We will be regularly sending out registration links to the DAHA membership contact within your organisation - please keep an eye out for these as spaces go quickly! 

These virtual groups have been set up by Domestic Abuse Housing Alliance (DAHA) with the support of the National Housing Federation (NHF) to bring together housing providers, local authority housing teams and specialist domestic abuse services from across the country for the purpose of supporting each other to develop and embed good practice for an effective organisational and coordinated community response to domestic abuse.

These Groups will feed into National Policy and Practice Groups and to the Domestic Abuse Commissioner’s Office.

We request that only one senior representative from an organisation attends to ensure that there is space in the meeting for all to contribute, thank you.

Make a stand pledge

In 2018 we launched the Make a Stand pledge, developed in collaboration with Chartered Institute of Housing and Women's Aid. The pledge gave housing organisations the opportunity to sign up to make four focused, but easily deliverable commitments to provide support for people experiencing domestic abuse. 

More than 400 housing organisations have signed up to the pledge, making up more than 50% of social housing providers nationwide.
