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.
