PIRILAMPU: 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence

The activism campaign marks an important moment for activists worldwide to raise awareness and advocate for the elimination of violence against women and girls. In line with this global campaign, ACbit and AJAR are supporting PIRILAMPU as a new organization, conducting advocacy on the rights of women survivors and victims of sexual violence during the past conflict, through a digital video with the theme “BUKAE: Survivors Walk Toward Justice.”

During the 16-day campaign, PIRILAMPU, with the support of ACbit and AJAR, is screening the “BUKAE” video across all 13 municipalities, and at the same time mobilized 699 peoples signed a petition to the National Parliament, calling for political measures or legislation to recognize survivors as victims of human rights violations who have the right to reparation.

 

Isabel as a PIRILAMPU’s president, stated “The activities carried out in 12 municipalities and RAEOA are part of PIRILAMPU’s advocacy efforts to raise awareness among the public, including authorities such as government, religious leaders, local authorities, resistance organizations, and others, about the reality of life for survivors or victims of sexual violence and the children born out of rape- children born as a result of past conflict.”

PIRILAMPU deeply appreciates those who voluntarily showed solidarity with us through signing the petition, and we will bring it to the National Parliament so that they can also consider our demands for justice that we continue to fight for.

About ACbit

The saying “Chega Ba Ita” underlines our belief that the CAVR report was written based on the experiences and voices of the people, for the people. It is not a document that should be shelved and forgotten. It is a living document to be understood, debated, and re-invented for generations to come.
