The Walk Against Family Violence 2025 drew more than 2,000 participants to Birrarung Marr as part of the global 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence. The annual event calls for stronger prevention of family violence and promotes safety, equality, and respect across Victoria. Participants walked to Treasury Gardens, where community leaders, advocates, and support services addressed the ongoing impacts of violence against women. Organisers encouraged attendees to wear orange and stand in solidarity with victim-survivors while raising public awareness and supporting a future free from gender-based harm.
