We all deserve to be safe, equal and respected. More than 1 in 3 women have experienced violence from men. Safety for women is not a given in any community – and neither is respect. It doesn't have to be this way.

The 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence is a global campaign led annually by UN Women. It runs every year from 25 November (the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women) to 10 December (Human Rights Day).

During the 16 Days of Activism, communities around the world join the call to prevent and eliminate violence against women and girls.

Tune into MainFM over the next 16 Days for special programming around this critical issue. And be sure to check out Women's Health Loddon Mallee for resources, tools for conversation and action, and a calendar of local events planned.

As you may have heard - there's a world record attempt happening this weekend in Castlemaine. Thurs 27 Nov is Ausmusic T‑shirt Day – and we’re trying to set a record for the most amount of people wearing Ausmusic T‑shirts in one place in Castlemaine ever - and raise money for Support Act at the same time.

WHEN: Sunday 23 November, 2pm
WHERE: Sunken Oval, Castlemaine
WEAR: Fave Aussie Band/Artist T-shirt
WHAT: Massive Group Photo (world record?!)
WHY: Raise Money for Support Act

A photographer is lined up, a little PA we're and are encouraging people to bring spare t-shirts for their mates, and of course, raise money for Support Act!
