Advertising and promotion of the event
www.isis.aust.com/rtn/advertising.htm

Some advice from the 1992 Sydney RTN Collective about making RTN more accessible to women:

• start the advertising early

• get a well known sponsor

• try to get community service announcements in the papers, on radio and/or TV

• advertise on community radio stations

• have women from backgrounds you wish to approach on the committee eg survivors, Aboriginal women, women from a non-English speaking background, young women, older women, women with disabilities etc

• go out and advertise

• connect with local women's health centres, sexual assault services, neighbourhood centres, women's refuges

• transport women to the night

• have the entertainment appropriate to all

• the poster should be great

• RTN committee to assist community groups with banners, sparklers etc

• try to instil both celebration of women's survival as well as a vehicle for change in each march

• challenging the denial in the community is the biggest strategy

Rural women have greater opportunities for personal contact with local organisations and businesses.

Ideas from rural groups:

•  use community notice boards

• put flyers in corner stores

•  hand out flyers to shops and organisations with window frontage in CBD

• hand out flyers at High Schools, TAFE, Community Colleges, Uni campuses, U3A

• send information to local women's organisations and groups

• appear on talk-back radio

• have a stall in the local shopping centre and talk to women about what you are doing

• hold an art function

"The point of it is to get out what you are doing, to get the issue out for women to talk about." Janne, Wollongong

"We took pamphlets around to all the shops in the CBD and spoke to people in the shops.  We also promoted the event at the shopping centre".Sally, Orange
