For 16 days in November and December, the community is invited to take a part in encouraging change to stop violence against women.
The annual 16 Days in WA – Stop Violence Against Women 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 sixth 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.
Ending violence against women – it’s everybody’s business.
In the pdf below is a recommended reading list of books curated by the State Library of WA for the campaign.
