16 Days in WA | Play Your Part

SportWest, proudly supports the WA Government, and the Department of Communities in the 16 Days in WA Campaign.

The 16 Days in WA campaign runs from 25 November (International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women) through to 10 December (Human Rights Day) each year.

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.

SportWest invites you to create change during the campaign – to educate, motivate and advocate in your community, and stand up to stop violence against women. View the full suite of resources by clicking on the link below.
