Frances Cheffins is the project manager for the What Were You Wearing’s (WWYW) national Move For Them Day on November 15. Move For Them Day participants will  run, walk or join in other activities to raise awareness and money for victim-survivors. While WWYW started as an art installation to challenge victim-blaming, it has grown into a not-for-profit organisation that provides survivor healing groups, education and advocacy. WWYW works to end sexual, domestic and family violence against women and counters victim-blaming. It called two national mobilisations in 2024 and one in May this year, which drew thousands to demand urgent action from governments.  Cheffins is based in Naarm/Melbourne and helped organise the previous national day of action, as well as the upcoming Move For Them Day.  We acknowledge that this podcast was produced on stolen Aboriginal land.
