✊ We took to the streets of Adelaide!

Despite the rain, Reclaim the Night 2026 brought our community together to demand justice, safety and inclusion for all.

Our voices were loud and our message was clear: everyone deserves to feel safe in their homes, workplaces, communities and public spaces.

On Friday 30 October, we gathered on Kaurna Yarta to demand an end to gender-based violence, discrimination and victim-blaming.

We called for stronger protections against gender-based violence, reproductive rights and bodily autonomy, trans rights, s*x workers' rights, safer workplaces and greater accountability from governments and institutions.

💜 Thank you to everyone who made Reclaim the Night 2026 possible!

South Australia is known as the Festival State. Behind the performances, venues and events that bring our city to life are thousands of people working across the festival and events industry.

Creating a thriving industry also means creating workplaces where people feel safe, respected and supported.

Recently, the Adelaide Fringe team took part in a refresher session with the Working Women’s Centre SA on preventing and addressing workplace s*xual harassment.

Building on previous training, the session gave the team an opportunity to refresh their knowledge, discuss workplace scenarios and strengthen practical skills for prevention and response.

It’s great to see organisations making this work ongoing. Preventing s*xual harassment is not a one-off exercise. Regular training can help keep knowledge up to date, build confidence to respond to harmful behaviour and support safer workplace cultures.

Want to bring this training to your workplace? The Working Women’s Centre SA offers practical, tailored training to help organisations prevent and address workplace s*xual harassment. Learn more about our workplace training and get in touch with our team: https://wwcsa.org.au/workplace-training/

Registrations are now open for the annual Michelle Hogan Forum, an event paying tribute to the bold legacy of trade union feminist, community advocate, and movement leader Michelle Hogan. The Forum aims to energise feminist thinking and champion progressive political activism.

We are living in a time of economic upheaval, social backlash and authoritarian attacks on our communities. Our strength will come from building solidarity and making the case for transformative change.

This year’s Forum brings together four activists whose collective work spans race, class, gender and justice. In conversation, they will explore how the far-right’s tactics of disinformation and division play out in our lives, at work, and in our parliaments. They will share learnings on the tactics of solidarity and resistance, and reflect on the power of feminist and other movements that proudly seek justice and liberation for all.
