16 Days of Activism has started!

The 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence is an international campaign running from November 25 (International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women) to December 10 (Human Rights Day). It raises awareness, sparks conversations, and inspires action to end violence in all its forms.

This year, the Blue Mountains community is joining the movement with powerful displays, events, and campaigns to say a collective “no” to violence and promote lasting change.
