IN collaboration with Speak Up Now- Stop Domestic and Family Violence the Maleny Neighbourhood centre is hosting a community lunch to help raise awareness of gender-based violence in our community.
The community lunch is an opportunity for conversation, and will be held Thursday November 28 at 12:30pm.
Local service providers will be available to speak with anyone who may want more information about how the community can all work towards stopping gendered violence.
There is no cost to attend, and everyone is invited to support this fantastic local initiative.
Val France of the Speak Up Now Group said that “Gendered violence is totally out of control. We all need to speak up and out against the use of misogynist language and behaviours which may lead to abuse against women and children.”
“The 16 days of Activism aims to highlight this important issue and reach out to all the community to help end it, and the community luncheon is one way we , the community, can show solidarity”.
