Although the #16DaysinWA campaign has come to an end for 2018, its messages remain relevant and important for Western Australia going forward into 2019 and beyond.
Ending yesterday on Human Rights Day, the campaign encouraged us to recognise that violence against women and girls should not be tolerated.
Over the course of the campaign, the issue of gender-based violence was raised across the state, with WA buildings and communities turning orange to support the cause.
Thank you to all of the organisations, community groups and individuals who played their part for this year’s initiative!
Showing solidarity in stopping gender-based violence and working together towards eliminating inequality continues to be an important focus for our state.
A special acknowledgement to lead Minister Simone McGurk MLA, Art Gallery of Western Australia, Fremantle Dockers AFLW, South32 and all landmarks who showed support.
Let’s remember to #ChangeTheConversation when it comes to violence against women and girls.
The walls of the Art Gallery of Western Australia will feature an urban light installation from dusk until midnight on Saturday, 8 December in support of the #16DaysinWA campaign.
Head over to the Perth Cultural Centre to see the display before the campaign ends on 10 December 2018.
The countdown is on so make sure you do your part to support the elimination of gender-based violence!
