Today is December 10, International Human Rights Day and marks the 16th and final day of this year's 16-Days in WA campaign. Human rights around the world include many things such as ‘the right to life and liberty’, ‘freedom from repression and torture’, ‘freedom of opinion and expression’, ‘the right to work and education’ and so many more. Everyone is entitled to these rights, without discrimination. In Australia, such simple human rights are not being lived by many. Many women and children have had their voice taken away, they do not live freely and experience emotional and physical abuse. There is no excuse for abuse of these basic human rights. Help end gender-based violence. Whilst this may be the end of the 16-Days in WA campaign, the need for more work continues. Keep playing your part, share you passion for change, keep learning and supporting those affected. Get on board and visit HERBoard.org.au to see how you can help more women rebuild their lives, regain their confidence and reconnect with self. Join HER Board and stand up for her rights. #herboard #playyourpart #endviolenceagainstwomen #givingherpowerback #getonboard

In Australia so far this year, 81 women have been killed at the hands of their partners. That is such a big number. In 2023, 74 women were killed in total. The stats are increasing. Urgent action is required to stop this. Gender-based violence is experienced across all communities and cultures. So much happens behind closed doors. Much shame and fear, isolation and coercive behaviour stop victims from coming forward or being able to leave. Join HER Board and help more women find their voice, find empowerment and support, to leave domestic violence behind. Get on board!
