Ending violence against women, girls and gender diverse people starts with equality. This year, with the support of Respect Victoria and their Sexism in Sport #callitout campaign, we are celebrating the 16 Days of Activism by chatting to some of our local sporting clubs about how they encourage and promote gender equality on and off the field.
Sport has a vital role to play in promoting equality and preventing violence against women at both an individual level and more broadly as influential organisations and workplaces. With a sizeable percentage of the Port Phillip community participating in some form of sport or physical activity, the attitudes and behaviours learned and displayed in sport can have a considerable influence on how our community behaves and a significant impact on preventing gender-based violence before it occurs.
For our 2022 campaign, we heard from some young local athletes and their clubs about how they create an equal playing field for girls, women and gender diverse people in our community. This is the second video in our series - 'Call it Out'. You can check out our first video here: [ Ссылка ]
