16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence ran from 25th November on International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, until 10 December on Human Rights Day. Many resources were prepared; here we give some help for the CALD community.
This year, Multicultural Centre for Women’s Health partnered with Ethnic Communities’ Council of Victoria and inTouch Multicultural Centre Against Family Violence to promote respect and call out assumptions about violence against migrant and refugee women.
We developed four digital tiles in Arabic, Simplified Chinese, English, Karen, Hindi and Vietnamese to encourage conversations about respect in your community.
