The Sexual Violence Won’t Be Silencedadvocacy group has created a music event as a fundraiser for Hey Sis, a charity designed toeradicate rape and domestic violence against indigenous women.
Wrought into life after a number of its founding members were targeted with misogynistic threats online, Sexual Violence Won’t Be Silenced aims to combat both rape culture and the propagation of sexual violence. As part of its advocacy, the group has announced Shameless, a celebration of Sydney women in rock.
The one-off event will combine raucous live music, including sets from roustabouts Scabz (the “shittest band in Newtown”) and Le Pie, as well as installations by Mikaela Stafford and booze from Young Henrys.
This isn’t your normal charity event, then, and rather than dry canapes and toffy talks, the night will feature real rock and expose even realer issues.
Shameless hits 107 Projects in Redfern on Friday January 29. More information can be found at the Sexual Violence Won’t Be Silenced Facebook pagehere.
