WALK AGAINST FAMILY VIOLENCE - 22 NOVEMBER

Posted on 13 November 2024

Family Violence is a workplace safety issue – you can join in on actions this November to learn about and stand against Gender-Based Violence. 

The Walk Against Family Violence marks the beginning of the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence – an international campaign for the prevention and elimination of violence against women and girls. 

We invite you to join the union contingent for the Walk Against Family Violence on Friday 22 November, to stand in solidarity with victim-survivors and continue the fight to improve workplace protections and create Victorian communities where everyone is safe, equal and respected. 

*The union contingent will meet at Federation Square at 10:30am and walk to Birrarung Marr together for the march at 11am* 

WEAR: Union gear and the colour orange encouraged. Flags and signs welcome.
