Be the Change

General

Each year, the 16 Days in WA campaign calls on all of us to stand against FDV.

We believe that change begins with action, and there are many ways you can get involved.

We encourage you to attend local events, marches, and community gatherings during the 16 Days in WA. These events raise awareness, honour victim-survivors, and build momentum for change.

Check out the calendar of events.

Book FDV Training

One of the most powerful ways to contribute is through education.

Zonta House offers free community and customised workplace training designed to help everyone recognise, respond to, and support those impacted by FDV.

Whether you’re a family member, friends, manager, colleague, or someone who simply wants to help, our training empowers you with knowledge.

This is more than just training, it’s about reshaping our community and workplace culture, building empathy, and creating environments where safety and respect are the norm.

Visit our awareness and education page, or mail [email protected] to find out more.

Fundraise or Host an Event

Want to make a tangible impact? Consider fundraising or hosting an event in honour of 16 Days in WA.

Host a morning tea or lunch event
Create a sponsored challenge – walk, swim, or cycle

16 Days in WA

The 16 Days in WA campaign is the State’s contribution to the global 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence.

Initiated by the Department of Communities in 2017, the campaign aims to raise awareness, promote positive change, and advocate for the prevention of family and domestic violence across the state.

Held annually from 25 November to 10 December, it aligns with international efforts to end violence against women and children, and encourages individuals, organisations, and communities to take action and be part of the solution.
