For 16 Days of Activism 2022, we answered 16 questions about gender-based violence and how it shows up in our culture - this year, we’re the ones asking the questions, you are going to be doing the talking!

At Bold Voices we believe the key to preventing gender-based violence and inequality is to start by examining our culture, and looking at why gendered violence is so often trivialised, normalised and accepted as ‘just the way things are’.

We believe the way to start creating this change is easier than it seems: we can begin by just talking about these issues. We know it sounds simple, but we believe that opening up a conversation is a powerful way to connect people over polarising topics, break taboos, shine light on the things no one thinks to talk about, and to challenge harmful ideas and stereotypes that are the root of this problem.

To make starting these conversations a little easier, we have created a pack of 16 cards.
