Move For Them: Melbourne

Our upcoming community event brings people together to raise awareness of domestic, family, and sexual violence (DFSV) and to honour and remember the women whose lives have been lost to gender-based violence.

The event is pay-as-you-wish to secure your spot, ensuring accessibility for all community members.

Together, we will participate in a 1, 2 and 4km run/walk around the Tan, symbolising solidarity, resilience, and collective action. The day will also feature:

• Market and food stalls showcasing local businesses and community organisations.

• Free trauma-informed activities such as yoga from Embody Counselling and self defence sessions from WWYW Social Justice Lead Revekka Eli to support healing and wellbeing.

• Community advocates and speakers sharing stories, knowledge, and messages of hope.

This event is more than a gathering — it is a movement of remembrance, awareness, and strength. By walking, running, and connecting, we stand united against gender-based violence and affirm our commitment to building safer futures.
