16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence
Stand Together for Change
From 25 November to 10 December, Active Merri-bek joins communities across Australia and around the world in recognising the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence.
This important campaign raises awareness about the impact of violence against women and girls and calls on all of us to take action to create safer, more respectful and inclusive communities.
Gender-based violence affects people of all ages, backgrounds and cultures. By starting conversations, challenging harmful attitudes and supporting one another, we can all play a role in preventing violence and promoting equality.
Throughout the 16 Days of Activism, Active Merri-bek will be hosting a range of activities and events across our centres to support women’s health, wellbeing and community connection. These include women’s health talks, women-only fitness classes and opportunities to learn, connect and get active in a safe and welcoming environment.
We encourage our members and community to get involved, learn more about the campaign and stand together against gender-based violence.
Together, we can help create a future where everyone feels safe, respected and empowered.
Dates: 25 November to 10 December
