The 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence is a global campaign. It calls for an end to violence against women.
Every year, the 16 Days runs from 25 November to 10 December.
Each year, Greater Bendigo Against Family Violence develops a Calendar of Events for the 16 Days of Activism. The events provide a mixture of online and face to face opportunities during the 16 Days to attend and show support.
