Post 1. 16 days of activism: Sunday 24th November

Written By Tracy Lauersen

Did you know that intimate partner violence contributes to more deaths, disabilities and illnesses in Australian women aged 25 to 44 than any other preventable risk factor? (source: Australian Institute of Health & Welfare)

November 25 is the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women. It also marks the start of a global #16DaysofActivism against gender-based violence. We all need to play our part in preventing violence. Join us between November 25 and December 11 as we call out some of the unhealthy attitudes and actions related to intimate partner violence and as we highlight healthier ways of relating.

The Anglican Church of Australia has made Ten Commitments to prevent and address violence.

Visit the Ten Commitments website for more information, including prayers you can share at church and a newsletter you can sign up for throughout the 16 Days of Activism campaign. 🔗 link in bio. #PreventionofViolenceAgainstWomen #TenCommitments #AnglicanChurchofAustralia
