In the year 2019, the campaign aimed at initiating the debate and voices, to encourage every person’s responsibility, to fight the incidence of rape, sexual corruption and violence against sexual intimacy in the community. Also it intends to educate the community to provide safe environment to women and children because every person has the right to feel safe and be respected. This goal was to sensitize every person in his or her position regardless of age to take action against rape incidences, violence against sexual intimacy and sexual corruption.

We intended to shift from knowledge awareness to implementation of actions. Every person in the community has the responsibility to do against Gender Based Violence and to minimize Gender Based violence.

The 2019 Activist campaign also sought to reach across the entire country. All people from a different class, background, urban and rural areas were targeted with the campaign. Specifically, the 16 Days of Activism Campaign of 2019 had the following objectives:

1. To bring multiple generations of women, men, and youth together and create a space aimed at promoting a movement against sexual violence.
2. To Promote collective responsibility to end violence against women and children
3. To expand accountability beyond the government to include the Judiciary, the Political Parties and the communities at large.
4. To Inspire all Tanzanians to be active participants to end gender-based violence
