16 Days of Activism

Published November 25, 2020

Central Highlands Rural Health (CHRH) are participating in the 16 Days of Activism campaign that is run every year. The campaign begins on 25 November, the International Day of Elimination of Violence Against Women and ends on 10 December, which is International Human Rights Day.

16 Days of Activism is all about creating momentum, raising awareness and taking action towards ending violence against women and girls.

This year the theme of the campaign is ‘Respect is…’ and staff at CHRH have been sharing what respect means to them. These images are being shared internally and externally to highlight the campaign.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Victoria has recorded the highest rates of family violence in our history. We have seen our community pull together this year and now it’s important to continue to pull together to raise awareness of and take action towards ending violence against women and girls.

To get involved in this campaign and raise awareness of domestic and family violence, Safe Steps have once again organised their annual Walk Against Family Violence on November 25. We encourage CHRH staff and community members to wear something orange, go for a walk and share it with the hashtags #WAFV2020 and #WhyWeWalk. You can find more information about the walk here.

Other ways to be involved in the campaign are to share with family, friends and colleagues what ‘Respect is’ to you, wear a white ribbon in support of the prevention of violence against women and stand up for women when you see abusive, disrespectful or violent behaviour.

Everyone deserves to be safe and live free from violence.
