16 Days of Activism 2026

Join Wyndham City Council in recognising the 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence, from 25 November to 10 December.

This global campaign brings communities together to raise awareness, challenge harmful attitudes and take action to prevent violence against women and girls.

Throughout the 16 days, Council will support a range of activities and initiatives across Wyndham, providing opportunities to learn, connect and promote respectful relationships.

Everyone has a role to play in preventing gender-based violence. By speaking up, challenging harmful behaviours and supporting those affected by violence, we can help build a safer, more respectful and inclusive community.
