Crochet a flower for 16 Days of Activism

Get involved in the Crochet Flower Project and support 16 Days of Activism Against Gender Based Violence.

The craft project aims to raise awareness of gender-based violence, and remove stigma by encouraging conversations about respect, gender equality and the drivers of violence.

Collect crochet kits from Castlemaine Civic Centre, Castlemaine Library, Castlemaine Community House or The Good Op Shop.

Donate orange yarn and crochet hooks (3mm, 3.5mm & 4mm) by dropping them off at the locations listed above.

Crochet orange flowers which you can wear as a brooch, and gift to family, friends and community members.

Wear and share your orange crochet flowers during 16 Days of Activism (25 November to 10 December).
