Description

Join Djirra and Sisters in Spirit for a 6km walk along Lake Burley Griffin.

Walk with us to amplify Aboriginal women's voices during the 16 Days of ACTIVEism®.

Joining the walk is a fantastic way to stand in solidarity with Djirra and with victim survivors of gender-based violence. Come along to show your support, and GET ACTIVE in your ACTIVEism®!

This annual walk, organised by Djirra, is held as part of the UN's global 16 Days of Activism campaign to end gender-based violence. This year we're proud and excited to be partnering with local Aboriginal organisation Sisters in Spirit.

A limited number of T-shirts and water bottles will be available, so please arrive early to grab yours! Bring your workmates, friends, family and even your dog! There'll also be free coffee to kickstart your walk.

For more information, please contact comms@djirra.org.au

Djirra is an Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisation with over 20 years’ experience accompanying Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women, and their children, on their individual journeys. We find solutions through Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women sharing their stories, journeys, and experiences. Djirra celebrates women’s strength and resilience. We are committed to a future without family violence.

We deliver holistic, culturally safe, specialist family violence support, legal services and case management, alongside cultural and wellbeing workshops and programs. Our services have state-wide reach, touching every part of Victoria to meet the needs of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women. Self-determination is the foundation of everything we do.

Djirra amplifies the voices of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women. We advocate for system-wide change to improve access to justice, eliminate systemic violence, and strengthen women’s resilience.

We are an active member of First Nations Advocates Against Family Violence, the peak body for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who are experiencing or at risk of family violence.
