Take to the streets

Want to make some noise in your community?

In Canberra, women have been creating a walking memorial to acknowledge the victims of male violence. The living memorial is an open invitation to walk the circumference of Parliament House, in acknowledgment of the absence of an actual memorial for women and girls. Wear black, take the route counter-clockwise (symbolically turning back the patriarchy), and post a photo (tag us @theschoolofvisibility using the hashtag #mondayatmidday so we can share it here). And if you’re keen to get more people talking about why there’s no memorial, you can share this post.

 

 

Can’t get to Canberra? Here’s what Jane and Lily are up to in their community; 

‘Lily and I made some noise on the bridge in Thirroul today. Lots of support out there from women, and a few men. For some reason, tradies in utes would not make eye contact.’ Jane and Lily will be on the bridge every Monday and you’re very welcome to join them. Just show up on Monday at midday.
