On Saturday Victim Support Malta, a local NGO supporting victims of crime, is holding a fundraising event to raise awareness about gender-based violence, as part of the 16 Days of Activism.
The 16 Days of Activism is an international campaign challenging gender-based violence in all forms and demanding gender equality across the world.
Every year since 1991, the campaign has focused on a different theme in relation to gender-based violence. This year, the 16 Days of Activism place a strong emphasis on human rights.
VSM works closely with many women who experience violence and victimisation.
The fundraising event, organised in cooperation with MC Adventures in Malta, will take place on December 2, from 11 am till 3 pm at Mosta Valley and involve a range of activities, including ziplining, abseiling and the crazy jump.
There will also be the opportunity to visit a Heritage Malta Site nearby, as well as to meet Malta’s Canine Police Division. Reflex Total Fitness gym vouchers and Costa coffee vouchers will be up for grabs on the day.
