16 Days of Activism 

Elisabeth Murdoch College is proud to join the 16 Days of Activism campaign to prevent violence against women

This year’s campaign encourages all Victorians to work together to prevent violence against women and girls. It runs from the 25th November (the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women) to the 10th December (Human Rights Day). 

Challenging disrespect towards women is everyone's responsibility. By calling out disrespect, sexism and other forms of discrimination early, we can help prevent violence against women and take steps towards a future where we are all safe, equal and respected. 

In the photo above, our student captains, along with fellow leaders from our specialist program ‘The Aspirant Leaders’, gathered together to discuss the campaign and recognise EMC’s ongoing work to prevent and eliminate all forms of violence and discrimination, including gender-based violence. 

This photo represents EMC joining the call to prevent and eliminate violence against women and girls, and stand with other schools and organisations who are doing the same.
