How sport can help change the story: Video

Summary

Violence against women is serious and widespread across Australia. The statistics are alarming. However, the good news is that there is clear evidence that violence against women can be prevented before it occurs

To do this, we need to challenge the underlying drivers of this violence, and work to increase gender equality. We need to do this right across society and in all aspects of everyday life, including in sports organisations and clubs.There is a clear opportunity for sporting organisations and clubs to play an active and positive part in this shared movement for change.
