Have a safe enjoyable White Night!

Its Saturday night 20 February 2016 and Melbourne’s city streets are now outdoor arts spaces with music, theatre, visual art and light shows on display. Yes, White Night is back for its third incarnation.
Many people ignorant of the diverse communities that make up our capital city will be rubbing shoulders in our city streets, some for the first time.
White Night attracts thousands of people, and we’ll all gather through to the early hours to see works by local and international artists. The same sex attracted and gender diverse community are entitled to enjoy the night in safety with respect alongside the broader community.
The first sign of anyone acting out their prejudices and phobias verbally or physically towards you or your friends, is the exact moment you talk to the nearest police member or the nearest security person or council worker to radio police for you. You can also call police on 000.
When safe, let us at the Anti-Violence Project know of your experience via https://antiviolence.info/report-violence/ and we’ll encourage better planning for safer White Nights in future
