Help prevent violence against women, girls and non-binary people by getting involved in the annual 16 Days of Activism campaign.

We have grants of up to $1,000 available to support eligible community-led events or projects that run during the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence campaign

The global campaign is held from 25 November (International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women) to 10 December (Human Rights Day).

Women, girls and non-binary people from multicultural communities, First Nations communities, the LGBTQIA+ community or people living with mental health issues or disability may be more at risk of experiencing family violence.
