16 Days in WA - Agents of change

I’m an Agent of change for 16 Days in WA because we can all be part of the solution when it comes to family and domestic violence.

As sportspeople, we can role model positive behaviours and challenge outdated ideas about men and masculinity.

Whether it be at home, at work, or on the field, we can all make a difference.

As a male dominated industry, we can play a part in changing some of the culture and behaviour and language that we use.

We all play a part in the environment and the culture that we engage in.

It’s really important that we reflect, particularly as men, about the way that we interact and behave because we want to create a safe environment for everyone.

Everyone has the right to feel safe and supported in our community.

It’s important that we understand we all have a part to play in making sure that’s a reality and there is a brighter future ahead.

I am an Agent of change because I know the only way we can create change is if we do it as a team.

I play my part by being a strong role model for young girls and boys.

I play my part because we can all make a difference in making sure our community is a safe space where young girls can thrive.

16 Days in WA is a chance for us to highlight the issue of violence and work towards a brighter future.

We all benefit when we can foster respectful and healthy relationships.

I’m privileged to support men and boys every single day who want to show up well in their lives, in their friendships, in their families, in their relationships.

The best thing we can do for all of our lives, families, communities and relationships is lean into these conversations.

I’m honoured to be an Agent of change for 16 Days in WA because being part of creating safer, healthier, more respectful families and communities means a lot to me.

As a proud Noongar man and father, I want to be the kind of man who stands up for others so that everyone can feel safe to be themselves.

Violence is not our culture. Our culture is strength, and we should be proud of who we are.

I'm an Agent of change because stopping family and domestic violence is important to me and my community.

I play my part by raising awareness about the need to see an end to family and domestic violence.

Along with my teammates, we will use our platform as professional athletes to raise awareness and educate our community about family and domestic violence.

I am proud to be a part of the 16 Days in WA campaign.

Violence against anyone in our community is unacceptable.

Men and boys have a critical part to play in valuing and respecting women and girls as equal members of our society.

We all have a part to play and 16 days in WA, but not just for the 16 days, for 365 days of the year. Let's not walk past it. Let's not condone it. Let's together be agents for change and make a difference.

I’m an Agent of change for 16 Days in WA because I, like many, want to raise awareness about family and domestic violence.

This is a huge problem that is faced by too many Australian families, and the only way things are going to get better is if we talk about it, call it out when we see it, and back the groups doing real work to make a change.

Kids and families need to be in safe spaces, free from violence. And we can all do our bit to make that a reality.

As a doctor, a father, and someone who works across health and sport in our community, I see the impact violence has on women, children, and families.

Respectful relationships help all of us break free from harmful patterns and outdated gender stereotypes.

Violence is never a strength. Real strength is shown through empathy, respect, and standing up against abuse.

I play my part by building a culture where respect and kindness come first.

I play my part by empowering women to use their voices and support one another.

16 Days in WA is a chance to reflect, learn and take action together.

If we are serious about addressing the impact of family and domestic violence on the women, children and families of Western Australia, we can't rely on someone else to solve the problem. It's something that we experience as a community, and it's something we need to solve as this community.

We can all play our part, whether it's calling at someone who's telling a joke that is offensive, whether it's looking at our brother or father who's demonstrating behaviours that are not okay, or whether it's just talking to young people about what healthy relationships are.

There's something everyone can contribute, and we won't solve the problem unless we all do.

I’m proud to play my part in the 16 Days in WA campaign because everyone deserves to feel safe and respected − at home, at work, and in our community. 

Creating real change starts with conversations, actions, and role models who show that respect is strength.

While disrespect doesn’t always lead to violence, all violence against women begins with disrespect.

Through sport, we can:

• break free of stereotypes that harm women and girls
• create an even playing field for future players and fans
• and foster safe, inclusive communities.

I am proud to be an Agent of change for 16 Days in WA. I will play my part on and off the track.

I use my platform to shine a light on the critical link between housing and safety, and to advocate for policies that support victim−survivors of family and domestic violence.

By bringing our industry together, we can challenge stigma, increase understanding and ensure real estate professionals are part of the solution.

Raising awareness is just the first step. Our responsibility is to turn that awareness into action that delivers safe housing for those who need it most.

I play my part by calling out disrespect when I hear it and role modelling positive behaviours with my teammates.

I play my part because there’s everyday things all of us can do to advocate for change.

For me, 16 Days in WA is about listening and learning and using the opportunity to educate myself.
