Barnardos 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence

The 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence is an annual international campaign that kicks off on 25th November, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, and runs until 10th December, Human Rights Day.

Barnardos will be supporting the 16 Days initiative and we invite our supporters to get involved.

Workplaces have a role to play in supporting people experiencing domestic and family violence, particularly for those that are experiencing financial or technological abuse from the perpetrator, with the intention of limiting access to support, resources or services. For those who are experiencing coercive control and have their communication limited or devices monitored, the workplace can be one of the few places that individuals can safely access information and support, without the perpetrator’s knowledge, avoiding the risk of repercussions.

Get in touch to discuss how you or your organisation can participate and increase awareness of Domestic Violence and it’s impact on children and families – partnerships@barnardos.org.au or make a donation to Barnardos Domestic and Family Violence support programs and services here.

WHAT WE SEE

We see beyond the sleepover in cars and understand the underlying issues.

After escaping family violence, a parent and their child have nowhere safe to stay and are
currently waiting for refuge accommodation.
