One of the most inspiring things about the 16 Days Campaign is the highly creative actions taken by many local groups to highlight the issue of violence against women in their local areas. Read below how in 2010 Roscommon Women's Network created a wicker woman as a unique symbol for their 16 Days Campaign. The wicker woman represents women who have been affected by domestic violence and she is a symbol of hope, strength, courage and protection.
