Lighting the way

Come nightfall each evening during the global 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence campaign the Castlemaine Town Hall is being lit up with a visual vigil created by Castlemaine artist Jim Coad.
The lights are on between 9pm and 10pm each night until the campaign winds up next Friday December 10 (International Human Rights Day).
Mount Alexander Shire Council is leading the ’16 Days’ campaign locally with support from a working group which includes members from the community and Loddon Mallee Women’s Health, and with funding from Domestic Violence Victoria and the Domestic Violence Resource Centre.
