18.01.2022 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence is a global campaign starting on the 25 November (the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women) and runs until 10 December (Human Rights Day).

It is an issue every day of the week and 16 Days of Activism is dedicated to raising awareness, educating people about the drivers of violence ...and uniting to eliminate it. EDVOS are celebrating 16 Days of Activism by highlighting some of the ways we and other organisations in the Eastern Region work together to prevent gender-based violence. Follow us during 16 Days of Activism to learn more about ways you can promote equality and respect in your home and community.

14.01.2022 Harmony Week 15-21 March, first held in 1999, has grown to become an important time for Australians to reflect and celebrate our nation's cultural diversity. Marking the end to #harmonyweek2021 is #HarmonyDay2021 on 21st March and coincides with the UN's International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination. The UN reiterates that all human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights and have the potential to contribute constructively to the development and... well-being of our society. Youth standing up against racism is the 2021 theme. It engages the public through #FightRacism, which aims to foster a global culture of tolerance, equality and anti-discrimination and calls on each and every one of us to stand up against racial prejudice and intolerant attitudes. https://www.un.org/en/observances/end-racism-day? Chiaka Moneke, 2021 Australia Day Nominee Local Hero, supporter and advocate for victims of family violence reflects on her role in helping rebuild the lives of victim survivors of family violence within the African-Australian community and supports them to live with confidence and purpose.

14.01.2022 If someone you know has experienced violence and abuse, take the time to listen to them. It may take years for them to reach out for support so, when they do, l...isten without interrupting or talking too much. Don't blame them for what happened - no matter the situation, violence is never OK.

08.01.2022 Sometimes sexist comments are made by people who don’t understand that their attitudes and behaviours are harmful. That’s why it’s important to call it out. What’s obvious for you may not be for them. Respectfully informing them could help them to understand and support them to change their behaviour.... Changing harmful attitudes might not happen overnight. The more valuable conversations we have that challenge these kinds of behaviours, the closer we will get to achieving a gender equal society for all.
