Real change starts with conversation.

More men are stepping up and talking about what they can do to help end gender-based violence... and that’s powerful.

But it can’t stop there. Keep the conversation going by checking in with your mates, recognising the warning signs, calling out disrespectful behaviour, and listening to all genders with empathy, not defensiveness.

This #16DaysOfActivism, help us build #StongConnectedCommunities where women feel safe, valued, and equal.

Today on International Day of People with Disability - Australia — we’re celebrating one of our own champions of inclusion. 👏

This year’s #IDPwD theme, Fostering Disability Inclusive Societies for Advancing Social Progress, is all about creating fairer, more connected communities where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.

Local area coordinator program manager Rebekah lives this every day. 🤲

From breaking down accessibility barriers across the Mallee to launching Hot Wheelies, Mildura’s first inclusive wheelchair basketball program, Rebekah shows how leadership, collaboration and social justice can create positive change. ♿

“If you believe in something, you need to have the courage to fight for those ideas, goals and passions,” she said.

When women are paid fairly, they gain independence, confidence, and the power to make their own choices - including the ability to leave unsafe situations.

Right now in Australia, women still earn less on average than men. This gap sends a message that women’s contributions are valued less. That needs to change.

Closing the gender pay gap isn’t just about money, it’s about safety, respect, and equality for everyone. For those experiencing racism, ableism, homophobia or transphobia, that gap can be even wider.

This #16DaysOfActivism, we join the call for fair pay, equal opportunities, and safer communities for all. Because it all starts with respect.
