2024 16 Days of Activism

Mildura Rural City Council is proudly partnering with local agencies and groups to support the global 16 Days of Activism initiative.

The 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence is a global campaign led annually by UN Women.

It runs every year from 25 November (the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women) to 10 December (Human Rights Day). During the 16 Days of Activism, communities around the world join the call to prevent and eliminate violence against women and girls.

In 2024, Respect Victoria and Safe and Equal are working together to support local community engagement with the 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence.

Mildura Rural City Council has been funded under Respect Victoria’s 16 Days of Activism grassroots initiative.
