Wombat Regional Art Network and Moorabool Shire Council presents '16 Days of Activism'
24 November to 10 December 2025

16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence is a global campaign led by the United Nations, running annually from 25 November (International Day of the Elimination of Violence Against Women) to 10 December (Human Rights Day). This initiative raises awareness and calls for the prevention and elimination of violence against women and girls. 

Shine a Light is this year's response that Moorabool Council has adopted, aiming to highlight how many women feel unsafe in public spaces at night.

Shine a Light sees Wombat Regional Arts Network transform Village Green, Bacchus Marsh, into a welcoming, illuminated public space that encourages community interaction and reflection. The activation includes a presentation in the MAPP Gallery and extends to surrounding trees, pathways, and park infrastructure.
