Play your part in stopping family and domestic violence
Take part in encouraging change to stop violence against women this November and December.
The annual
16 Days in WA – Stop Violence Against Women campaign takes place from 25 November (International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women) to 10 December (Human Rights Day).
Now in its eighth year, 16 Days in WA draws inspiration from the global movement for 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-based Violence to drive a change in culture, behaviour and attitudes that lead to violence against women and their children.
The 2024 campaign theme is
Stopping Family and Domestic Violence: Play your part.
The City recently awarded a community development grant to Deserving Better WA, a local community organisation proactively seeking to empower marginalised individuals through education, support, and advocacy. This includes assisting victims of coercive control and family violence.
The organisation is based at the Third Place in Subiaco and the grant is supporting a six-month pilot project consisting of three clinic days per week, plus monthly community seminars, with a focus on coercive control.
