02.01.2022 Today marks the start of 16 Days of Activism, a yearly campaign aiming to increase awareness of gender-based violence and discrimination. Hamish Fletcher is the... Captain of Wirrate CFA, and says that to him, respect is speaking up in the face of poor or violent behaviour. As CFA volunteers we support each other by calling out danger on the fire ground. Speaking out against violent behaviour is no different. Violent behaviour is perpetrated and supported through actions. It is also confronted and responded to through actions. The action we choose is up to us.
