For the 16 Days of Activism, the Zonta Club of Northern Beaches Inc, Australia, held a “Say NO to Violence” walk along Manly Beach promenade. The event ended with a ceremony to name and remember the women who passed away in the previous year. As each name was read out loud, an orange hand was pegged to a line between trees by those in attendance.

280 people joined the walk, including workers from local DV refuges, police, politicians, school students, Mackellar Girls High Z Club members, Rotary and representatives from local government and the Northern Beaches Domestic Violence Network.

The club handed out free orange caps, which made the participants stand out even more. Many passersby listened to the speeches along the beachfront.
