Stories of Respect

Stories of Respect showcases the stories of Victorians who are taking steps towards equality in their communities, relationships, families and workplaces. Their stories touch on what it means to be a man, the role that respect plays in relationships, and how both men and women benefit from breaking down stereotypes about gender that can hold people back.

About 16 Days Of Activism

“Let’s Chat Gippsland” is a community campaign that began as part of the annual international United Nations (UN) 16 Days of Activism initiative that runs from the 25 November to 10 December each year.

This is the third year that communities have come together to collectively celebrate the 16 Days of Activism against Gender Based Violence, also known as the 16 Days of Activism (16DoA)

The Let’s Chat Gippsland website has been made possible with resources and funding from Gippsland Women’s Health.

The site is managed by Gippsland Women’s Health.
