​IWIN’s Global Artivism Project to End Violence Against Women

We are excited to introduce IWIN’s 2026 project for the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence early, giving communities plenty of time to gather, create, and prepare.

Last year, through your incredible e participation and support, one of IWIN’s most successful global projects came to life. More than 1,000 shoes appeared across 40+ cities on four continents, as women and allies from diverse communities and nationalities around the world came together to create one shared voice against violence against women.

This year, we want to make that circle even wider—connecting home to home, community to community, and city to city through orange crochet.October — Gather & Create

🧶 October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month in the U.S. Gather your friends, family, book club, coworkers, or community and host an orange crochet circle. Create orange circles and flowers together while opening conversations about domestic violence, awareness, and solidarity.November 25–December 10 — Take It to Your City

🧶 Bring your orange crochet creations into your community—display them on trees, fences, homes, workplaces, libraries, schools, parks, and other public spaces.Each orange creation becomes a symbol of awareness, courage, resistance, and solidarity—and an invitation to continue the conversation about ending violence against women around the world.
