16 Days of Activism Resources

16 days of activism commences next Monday 25th November and runs until 10th December.

The East Gippsland Partners in Violence Prevention (EGPVP) is promoting gender equality and respect during the 16 Days of Activism with the theme Hands up for Respect encouraging early years services, schools, organisations and community to celebrate and reflect.

EGPVP is a partnership of organisations working together to prevent family violence with a focus on respectful relationships and gender equality.

Your leadership and commitment to promoting gender equality and respectful relationships is essential in our collective effort in East Gippsland to create a safer and more equitable world. Being part of the solution is everyone’s responsibility.

Attached is a resource pack and templates are designed for Early Years Services to support meaningful involvement in the 16 Days of Activism.

It can be used to reflect and generate conversations about what gender equality and respect looks like in your service, and to inspire change, building on wherever you are on your journey with respectful relationships within your service.
