16 Days of Activism 2026

16 Days of Activism

Join us for 16 Days of Activism 25 November – 10 December
Safe. Everywhere. Always.

From 25 November to 10 December, Pop In is joining the global movement to end violence against women and children. The 16 Days of Activism is about raising awareness, sparking conversations, and taking real steps toward a safer, more equal future.

Together, we can create a community of men, women and children where safety, respect and support are the norm.

Through connection, education, and action, we can break the silence. Whether you're showing up, speaking out, or simply starting a conversation, your involvement matters.

Over these 16 days, there are several ways to get involved - each one designed to inspire action, build awareness, and create lasting change across the Wingecarribee shire.

Join us to Take the 16 Days, 16 Ways Challenge‍ ‍

In partnership with the global 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence initiative.

16 DAYS, 16 WAYS

This is our mission, and we want you to be a part of it. Every action matters, every voice counts, and every step brings us closer to a future free from violence.
