GETTING a bright orange sticker on your morning coffee over ensuing days from participating cafés in the Southern Grampians is to start conversations around ending gender-based violence, and what respect is.

The campaign started on Friday, November 25, International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, and marked the beginning of 16 Days of Activism Against Gender Based Violence.
