NSW 16 Days of Activism to Stop Violence Against Women (25 November-10 December) - Take Action to Stop Violence Against Women

In NSW, the Government is leading the international campaign 16 Days of Activism to Stop Violence Against Women in partnership with community organisations, business, and media, to highlight the connection between women, violence and human rights.

The Violence Against Women Specialist Unit coordinates this campaign in NSW with events posters and resources to raise awareness of violence against women, and encourage individuals and communities to take action to help make the lives of women and children safer.

You can join in the campaign by nominating an individual, organisation, business or media for the 2007 NSW Violence Against Women Prevention Awards to recognise their contribution to the prevention of violence against women. Nominations for the Awards will close on 19 October. The NSW Premier will announce the Awards on 30 November.
