Join the Walk Against Family Violence on Friday 28 November and create Victorian communities where everyone is safe, equal and respected.
The event will commence at 10:00am at Birrarung Marr (Upper Terrace) and will get underway quickly. This is earlier than previous years, to minimise potential discomfort and health risks of hot weather. We will walk together to Treasury Gardens (approximately 700 metres), where we will hear from a lineup of powerful speakers.
You are invited to stay in the Gardens after the formalities finish to enjoy a picnic lunch. There will be food trucks, entertainment, market stalls and a positive atmosphere!
People of all genders are welcome. Bring your workmates, friends, family, chosen family – and even your dogs! Wear orange if you can, bring a water bottle, and don’t forget colourful signs and banners.
