Today is the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women. It is an important time to come together to speak out against the violence that affects women and girls across the globe. This day marks the beginning of 16 days of activism aimed at raising awareness and driving change. Violence against women is not just a women’s issue—it’s a human rights issue. In Australia, and around the world, we must stand united to end domestic abuse, sexual violence, and harassment in all its forms. Every woman and girl deserves to live without fear and with the freedom to thrive. Let’s continue to challenge harmful attitudes, support survivors, and advocate for stronger protections. 💜 #16Days #EndViolenceAgainstWomen #NoExcuse
