Respect Starts With All Of Us

The City of Stonnington has teamed up with Respect Victoria on a vibrant campaign to raise awareness of gender-based violence.

A series of vibrant posters, highlighting messages from the campaign for 16 Days of Activism against Gender-based Violence, are set to be installed on a highly visible billboard opposite the Prahran Railway Station and at 251 High St, Prahran on Monday 30 November.

This global campaign, which runs for 10 days from Wednesday 25 November to Tuesday 10 December, encourages communities to prevent violence against women and promote respect, equality and safety.

Respect starts with everyday actions.

It can be speaking up where you hear a sexist joke, checking in on someone who may need support or treating others with kindness and dignity.

During the 16 Days of Activism, we’re encouraging our community to think about the role they play in building a safer, more respectful community.

You can help by:

  • calling out disrespect when you hear it
  • listening to and believing people who share their experiences
  • treating people equally at home, work, school, and in the community
  • checking in on friends, family and colleagues
  • setting a positive example for others.

This initiative supports our commitment to ensuring that everyone feels safe and free from violence.

Everyone deserves to feel safe.
