Ripples Sunset Vigil
The City of Charles Sturt in partnership with Western Collaboration Against Family and Domestic Abuse (WCAFDA) hosted a sunset vigil to take a stand during the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender Based Violence.
The 16 Days of Activism campaign calls for action against one of the world’s most persistent violations of human rights – violence against women.
The moving vigil was held at the “Ripples Memorial” situated adjacent the St Clair wetlands and Cheltenham Reserve Playground, 648 Torrens Rd, Pennington on Thursday, 24 November.
We extend our thanks to Aunty Daisy Wanganeen for her Welcome to Country and guest speaker Deirdre Flynn, Manager Client Services at Catherine House Inc.
Thank you to everyone who attended the vigil and shared their commitment to standing against gender based violence.
Be part of the Clothesline Project
Raising awareness of survivors of assault and abuse, the Clothesline Project is a visual display of violence statistics that often go ignored.
We’ll be holding a number of The Clothesline Project t-shirt workshops (see our Facebook page for more information), with the t-shirts on display across our City from the end of November.
All events are a partnership between the Cities of Charles Sturt, Port Adelaide Enfield and West Torrens with the Western Collaboration Against Family and Domestic Abuse.
