Gladstone Regional Council (GRC), the Gladstone Neighbourhood Centre, and Gladstone Women’s Health Centre are collaborating to deliver The Red Shoe Project during the 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence (November 25 – December 10), raising awareness and calling for action to end violence against women and girls

The Red Shoe Project is a powerful visual art installation that honours women and girls who have lost their lives to gender-based violence. Each pair of red shoes represents a life taken too soon. A mother, daughter, sister, friend.

Be apart of the movement:

We are seeking donations of shoes of any kind, red shoes are ideal, but if you don't have red that’s totally fine, we will be hosting a series of workshops to paint them red.

Where to donate:

Shoes can be donated from 25 August - 14 October at the below locations across the Gladstone Region:

- Philip Street Communities and Families Precinct - 1 Pengelly Street, Gladstone (Green Ngalill building)

- Gladstone Women's Health - 65 Central Lane, Gladstone

Join our Red Shoe Workshops:

We will be hosting a series of workshops at the Philip Street Communities and Families Precinct to prepare and paint the shoes red ready for install.

Every pair will become part of a striking visual art installation to honour the lives of women lost to gender-based violence.

This is more than just an art display. It’s a global movement, and a call to action. Together, we can raise awareness, spark conversation, and advocate for change.
