Primary Prevention – Projects

Respect Starts Here

Respect Starts Here is a program that supports gender equality, promotes respect in our community and contributes to the prevention of violence against women.

We are currently funded to deliver Respect Starts Here in sporting clubs across Barwon, thanks to Sport and Recreation Victoria and Geelong Community Foundation.

Registrations are now open for Football and Netball clubs across the Barwon area to be part of Respect Starts Here in 2024. For more information and to register visit Respect Starts Here.

Lived Experience Art Exhibition

This program explores the underlying causes of violence against women and invites clients to reflect and express concepts such as respect, independence, power, and cultural rules around femininity and masculinity through art in a facilitated workshop setting. The artwork that is produced is exhibited to the public at an accessible venue and shared on social media and other publications.
