UN Women – 16 Days of Activism Campaign
About the Campaign
The 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence is an annual international campaign coordinated by UN Women, running from 25 November (International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women) to 10 December (Human Rights Day). The campaign unites activists, organisations, and institutions worldwide to raise awareness and mobilise action to end gender-based violence.
In 2025, our focus will be on cyberviolence against women and girls, a growing form of gender-based violence that undermines safety, dignity, and equality in the digital sphere. To support the campaign, we are seeking to collaborate with a talented illustrator to create 16 visuals that will be used across social media platforms during the campaign.
Tasks
The selected illustrator will be responsible for:
- Designing 16 visuals aligned with the campaign’s theme on cyberviolence.
- Ensuring that any visuals containing text are also available in Canva so our members can translate them into their national languages.
- Working closely with our team to ensure that visuals reflect the campaign’s key messages and resonate with diverse audiences across Europe and beyond.
- Delivering work in formats suitable for social media (Instagram, X/Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn).
Timeline
- Application deadline: 26 September 2025
- First sketch: First week of October 2025
- Final delivery of all visuals: 31 October 2025
