Walking together to end family violence #16 DAYS OF ACTIVISM

As part of the global 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence, Kara FVS joined the City of Monash for their annual Walk Against Family Violence. This event, a key part of the Monash Health and Wellbeing Plan, aims to raise awareness about family violence. Dr. Angela Spinney, a Kara FVS Board Member, spoke about the depth of family violence and our organisation’s efforts to help victim survivors.

The walk concluded at the Monash Men’s Shed with a BBQ to reflect and celebrate progress. On November 25th, Kara FVS also participated in the Walk Against Family Violence in Melbourne’s CBD, joining thousands in support of ending family violence. The event emphasised the importance of continued action to create safer communities.

Acknowledging and exchanging Ideas

To honour the 16 Days of Activism, Kara FVS hosted an afternoon tea for reflection and conversation. The event featured a quiz on activism history and a fun “Guess Who” game. With orange-themed food and drinks symbolising the campaign’s colour, the afternoon was a mix of education, connection, and enjoyment. Together, we continue to raise our voices, stand in solidarity, and work toward a world where violence has no place.
