The 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence is a global initiative running from 25 November through 10 December, annually.

Zoroastrianism is a peace-loving and peace-supporting religion. Prophet Zarathushtra greatly opposed raids, oppression and all kinds of violent, hostile and wrongful behaviour. The Avestan Zoroastrian Creed explicitly says that supporting the “nidhasnaithishem” (non-violence) is an essential part of the religion.

Six ideals of Zoroastrism are:
* a good mind: a positive attitude and gaining wisdom
* principled living: honesty, honest work, helpfulness, moderation and balance
* independence: self-reliance and leadership
* serenity and happiness
* wholeness: healthy and holistic living
* an undying spirit.

Religions for Peace Australia is a global, community-based organisation working for global peace across the world and for social cohesion in Australia in other countries, and for peace and co-operation between the religions of the world. It works for an understanding of the benefits that religion and religious moderation brings to society, and works against religiously based extremism that is violent. Religions for Peace Australia has affiliates and branches in all states of Australia.
