16 Days of Activism and the Alliance's first birthday: Free Screening of Silenced at Theatre Royal Hobart

Celebrate one year of the Tasmanian Family and Sexual Violence Alliance

Join us to mark the Alliance’s first birthday with a free community screening of Silenced, the acclaimed 2026 Australian documentary from Emmy-winning director Selina Miles.

Silenced follows human rights lawyer Jennifer Robinson. She takes on legal systems that are being used to silence survivors of gender-based violence who speak out. The film opened the 2026 Sydney Film Festival and has been called an essential, galvanising watch.

We’re delighted to welcome the Hon Jo Palmer MLC, Minister for Women and the Prevention of Family and Sexual Violence, as our special guest.

This is a chance to celebrate the work of Tasmania’s family and sexual violence sector and to thank our members, partners and victim-survivors. It’s also a moment to come together at the start of 16 Days of Activism.

Light refreshments and birthday cake will be served.

When: November 25 2026 at 5.45pm for a 6.00pm start
Where: Theatre Royal, Hobart 

Cost: Free, but registration is essential

Content warning: Silenced is rated M(15+). It depicts family violence and refers to sexual violence. Support workers will be available on the night.
