Stand With Us: A Town-Wide Response to Violence Against Women & Children
This November, Kyogle businesses are invited to take part in a powerful, visible, and collective statement of support during the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence.
Register below to receive your Red Chair Resource Pack and be part of a united community response.
What is the 16 Days of Activism?
The 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence is a global campaign led by the United Nations, running each year from:
25 November – 10 December
25 November: International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women
10 December: Human Rights Day
These 16 days mark a time for individuals, organisations, and communities around the world to take a stand against violence toward women and children, raise awareness, and promote meaningful action.
What is the Red Chair Campaign?
The Red Chair Campaign is a simple but powerful visual action.
A single red chair placed in a public space represents:
A life impacted by violence
A voice that is often unheard
A call for our community to acknowledge, support, and act
By placing a red chair outside your business, you are helping to create a
visible, town-wide statement that Kyogle stands against violence.
Why Get Involved?
Violence against women and children exists in every community — including our own.
By participating, your business will:
Show visible support for those affected
Help spark important community conversations
Contribute to a collective, town-wide display of solidarity
Be part of a coordinated local response aligned with national and global action
This is about standing together — as businesses, as neighbours, and as a community.
