The not-for-profit organisation has asked men and women to join them on Monday in a march of protest against family violence.
The procession will start from outside the Anson Street arcade and make its way down Summer Street to the roof of the Orange Regional Museum.
Participants will carry placards to represent the 58 Australian women and 21 children who have lost their lives to violence in 2019.
Similar protests will happen around Australia, with the 11th annual Walk Against Family Violence taking place in Melbourne expected to attract around 2500 people.
The march coincides with the United Nation's Annual International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women and marks the beginning of 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence - an international campaign galvanising action to end violence against women and girls around the world.
The marchers will meet at 10.15am just up from the Lord Anson Hotel.
