23.01.2022 Today is International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women - it's also the first day of the United Nation’s 16 Days of Activism against gender-Based Violence. Coinciding with this campaign is Respect Victoria’s ‘Respect Women: Call it out’ initiative which also runs from 25 November to 10 December. The initiative, which Council supports, encourages Victorians to call out sexism, sexual harassment and disrespect towards women. ... During this time, we all have an opportunity to support our communities to understand what gender equality looks like and how striving for equality can prevent violence against women.
