On 25 November, we’re bringing ZEDx back.Inspired by the TEDx format, ZEDx brings together speakers, experts and our community to share ideas, challenge thinking and inspire action.This year, we’re asking:How can we ALL change the culture of men’s violence against women?The answer to men’s violence against women isn’t changing women’s behaviour. Prevention means changing the culture that enables men’s violence – and that’s something all of us have a role in.📅 25 November 2026📍 Venue and speaker details coming soonSave the date and join the conversation.Will you be part of the change?
At our recent monthly meeting, we were joined by Maddie from BreastScreen Victoria. Maddie spoke in detail about BreastScreen Victoria's program to save lives and reduce the impact of breast cancer through early detection.The presentation really highlighted the importance of women, trans and gender-diverse people aged 50 to 74 getting their free breast screens every 2 years, and mentioned that only 52% of Victorian women are currently doing this on a regular basis.Prioritising your health and wellbeing is critical. The biggest takeaway from the meeting is to always investigate any changes to your body as early breast cancer detection saves lives 🩷To book an appointment visit breastscreen.org.au or call 13 20 50#zcmoyz#womensupportingwomenw#breastcancerawarenesseness
