We recognised the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, the start of the 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence campaign, and White Ribbon Month, which runs from 18 November until 13 December.
These important initiatives aim to raise awareness of the violence women are subjected to, to help drive an essential change in the culture, behaviour and attitudes that lead to violence against women and children.
In recognition, our teams wore white to show our commitment to breaking the cycle of violence, promoting gender equality, and fostering positive, healthy, and respectful relationships. Our team in Perth also proudly attended the Centre for Women's Safety and Wellbeing's 34th March Against Domestic and Family Violence, marking the beginning of the WA Government's 16 Days in WA campaign.
It's everyone's responsibility to stand up against violence.
In partnership with Orana House, we developed a Family and Domestic Violence Support program that offers education and training, emergency support, DFV leave, flexible work arrangements, and holistic assistance. If you, or someone you know, is affected by FDV, know that help is always available. Call 1800RESPECT Australia or visit White Ribbon Australia’s hotline directory.
With our parent company, Webuild, we are committed to providing our people with ongoing training and resources to support themselves, their colleagues, and our wider communities.
