ORANGE DAYS – 16 DAYS AGAINST VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN 2026 IN THE UPPER VALLE OF THE WALLIS

Orange sends a message: From November 25 to December 10, 2026, the Garde Fortress in Naters, Stockalper Castle in Brig, and St. Martin’s Church in Visp will be illuminated in orange. Through this joint lighting initiative, the Soroptimist International Club Brig and Inner Wheel Oberwallis are raising awareness of gender-based violence during the “Orange Days – 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence 2026.” Around the world, orange symbolizes a future free from violence against women and girls. The illuminated buildings are intended to catch the eye, show solidarity, and serve as a reminder: violence against women concerns us all. The lighting accompanies our other activities: the information booth on November 25 at Brig’s town square, as well as the evening of presentations and a panel discussion on December 2 at the Brig train station. Organized by: Soroptimist International Club Brig and Inner Wheel Oberwallis

When: November 25, 2026 – December 10, 2026
