The "Stronger Together" podcast by IMPACT Community Services addresses key social issues in Bundaberg and beyond. In this episode, Tanya O’Shea, IMPACT’s Managing Director, speaks with Jo Leveritt from the Zonta Club and Staci Rae from IMPACT’s Intensive Family Support Program about the upcoming "16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence." Led by Zonta International and supported by organisations like IMPACT, this annual campaign from 25 November to 10 December advocates for change and support for those impacted by violence.
Bundaberg’s campaign includes events like the "Pageant of Lights" parade, where Zonta will feature a Flintstones-themed float with the message "Don’t Get Stuck in the Stone Age," reinforcing their anti-violence stance.
Another powerful component is the "Ringing of the Bells" ceremony, where bells toll for lives lost to domestic violence over the past year, a sombre reminder of the need for action. Additionally, the Clothesline Project showcases survivor-painted shirts symbolising different forms of violence, displayed at Hinkler Central, creating a visual representation of resilience and awareness.
Through partnerships with IMPACT and Zonta, Bundaberg is fostering a safe, supportive space to address violence, with this podcast episode underscoring the power of awareness, community, and support.
