P A G E 2 Gannawarra Goes Orange 2025 16 days of Activism Understanding and appreciating every person for who they are. All people deserve to be treated with respect, as a basic human right. The campaign against Gender-Based Violence is designed to galvanise individuals, communities and organisations to address gender inequalities, gender-based violence and take action to prevent violence before it starts. Violence against women remains a serious issue in Australia. The following statistics are very sobering. In 2022-23, 1 woman was killed every 11 days by a current or former partner1. (Respect Victoria website) Between July 2024 and June 2025 there were 240 reported incidents of family violence in the Gannawarra Shire, with close to 80 per cent of those affected by these violent incidents being female. If you think you or your friend, partner, colleague, family member is at risk of using violence, call the Men’s Referral Service on 1300 766 491 and experienced counsellors will help you take the next steps. If you are experiencing violence, please call 1800RESPECT or Safe Steps on 1800 015 188. (Gannawarra Shire Website) Let’s work together to make this world even better for everyone ☺ Excellamus - Let Us Excel!
