16 Days of Activism – Walk Against Family Violence

Next date: Friday, 22 November 2024 | 11:00 AM

Join the Walk Against Family Violence on Friday 22 November and create Victorian communities where everyone is safe, equal and respected.

In Victoria, this event marks the beginning of the 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence – a global campaign for the prevention and elimination of violence against women and girls.  

By joining the Walk you can take action to prevent family violence and violence against women and stand in solidarity with victim survivors.

The event will commence at 11:00am at Birrarung Marr (Upper Terrace) with a Welcome to Country and opening remarks. We will walk together to Treasury Gardens (approximately 700 metres), where we will hear from a lineup of powerful speakers. 

You are invited to stay in the Gardens after the formalities finish to enjoy a picnic lunch. There will be food trucks, entertainment, market stalls and a positive atmosphere!

People of all genders are welcome. Bring your workmates, friends, family, chosen family – and even your dogs! Wear orange if you can, bring a water bottle, and don’t forget colourful signs and banners.
