Everyone deserves to feel safe, equal and respected.
Yet in Australia, more than 1 in 3 women have experienced violence from men.
Together, we can change this by building communities grounded in respect.
We are proud to support the global campaign 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence, running from 25 November (International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women) to 10 December (Human Rights Day), encouraging communities to take action to prevent violence against women and girls.
Throughout the campaign we will light up Monash Civic Centre in orange to symbolise hope, optimism and a future free from violence.
Council will also host events across Monash that encourage conversations about respect, equality, and how we can all help prevent gender-based violence.
