* Due to both global discrepancies in Internet access and usage (which is our main source of information collection) and the fact that not all 16 Days participants report their activities to the Global Center, data does not completely reflect the larger extent of 16 Days organizing in certain regions, nor does it necessarily reflect the level of commitment on the part of the individual organizations from year to year.
