Department of Communities - 16 Days in WA

About

For 16 days in November and December, the community is encouraged to play your part in stopping family and domestic violence. The annual 16 Days in WA campaign takes place from 25 November, the 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. You are invited to create change during the campaign – to educate, motivate and advocate in your community, and stand up to stop violence against women. The 2024 campaign theme is Stopping Family and Domestic Violence: Play your part.
