DAHLI Rye was among students at Boort District School waving bright orange ribbons to mark the start of 16 Days of Activism in the Loddon.
Students and teachers gathered with health service CEO Donna Doyle and members of her Strengthening Hospital Response to Family Violence team to create a sea of orange before ribbons were tied to the school fence.
Donna later spoke to students about respect and equality and took part in an awareness at Nolen’s Park on Friday evening.
“The 16 Days of Activism is a platform to call for change, and to remind us all that preventing violence starts with changing the culture that allows it to happen,” said Respect Victoria CEO Emily Maguire. “Violence against women is preventable, and it’s a challenge that belongs to all of us.”
