Become a vital partner in shaping a just future with Respect 2040.
We all have a role in creating a thriving Barwon South West where women, girls and gender diverse people live free from the burden of gendered violence.
Respect 2040 empowers partners and communities to work collectively to target the gendered divers of this violence – by changing attitudes, norms, practices, structures and power imbalances and great long-lasting cultural change to prevent it occurring in the first place.
Women’s Health and Wellbeing Barwon South West invite community groups, not for profit organisations, private and public organisations, businesses, local governments and health organisations to join Respect 2040.
We all have a role to play
The gendered drivers of violence against women have influence across all levels of society from the institutional to the individual, from schools to sporting grounds. Disrupting the influence of these drivers requires coordinated action across multiple settings and sectors sustained overtime.
