The Good People Act Now Project was established in 2014 in response to the high rates of family violence incidences in Hume.
Since 2014, GPAN has trained hundreds of young people to be gender equity champions and active bystanders in their communities.
Who we are
We are a youth led community group in Broadmeadows, Victoria, working to promote gender equality and end violence against women in Hume.
We promote our message through community campaigns, local events, sporting clubs and schools in a variety of ways, including live performance, info sessions, movie making and social media.
