Tuesday 25 November 2025, - International Day for the elimination of Violence Against Woman

Today, we honour every woman who has been hurt, silenced, or ignored — and we stand with all those who are still fighting for safety, dignity, and respect. Violence against women is a global reality that millions continue to face, whether at home, in public, or online. It is never acceptable.

This day is a call to break the silence, raise awareness, support survivors, and take meaningful action to end gender-based violence. Change begins with empathy, education, and the courage to speak out.

Let’s stand together to build a world where every woman lives free from fear, harm, and discrimination.

No more excuses. No more violence.

You’re not alone. Help is available:
📞 000 (immediate danger)
📞 13 11 14 (Lifeline)
📞 1800 65 64 63 (NSW DV Line, 24/7)
📞 1800 737 732 (1800RESPECT)
📞 1800 424 017 (Sexual Violence Helpline)

💙 “Supporting Men and Boys”💙

International Men’s Day is a time to celebrate the positive contributions men and boys make to our communities, workplaces, families and society.

It’s a chance to raise awareness around men’s health, promote role models and encourage conversations about wellbeing and respectful relationships.

The theme for 2025, recognises that supporting men’s and boy’s physical, mental and emotional health benefits everyone.

At 💙 LikeMind Wagga Wagga 💙 we recognise the unique challenges men face—especially around mental health. We are here to listen, advocate for and empower men and boys to seek help, connect and thrive.

💙 Let’s work together to reduce stigma and support the men and boys in our community 💙

RUOK? DAY Wagga Wagga NSW (11 September 2025)

LikeMind Wagga hosted a small luncheon for the community although the turnout wasn’t huge it provided a wonderful opportunity to connect with colleagues, check in with one another, and share in the spirit of the day.

Upon reflection it reminded the LikeMind Wagga team, consumers and community of the importance of checking in with friends, neighbours, and colleagues every day not just on RUOK Day and as a Mental Health organisation, we promote and value these moments to come together and support each other.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the day special
