Step Out Speak Out
Taking steps to end domestic violence
This year, on Friday 22 November 2024 we asked you to join us in marching against Domestic Violence.
The Step Out Speak Out Walk raises awareness about domestic violence and asks everyone to stand up and say no to domestic violence. The annual Walk is organised by NSW Police Eastern Beaches Local Area Command and Randwick City Council with support from the SES and the Juniors.
November 25 is the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, which marks the beginning of 16 Days of Activism, culminating in Human Rights Day on December 10.
To mark the 16 Days of Activism, we ask you to Step Out Speak Out and Walk against Domestic Violence with your family, friends, workmates or teammates.
If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic or family violence there are domestic and family violence support services available:
- No to Violence for men who need support (1300 766 491)
- 1800RESPECT (1800 737 732)
Thank you for joining us on Friday 22 November 2024 at Step Out Speak Out, and standing with us against domestic and family violence.
