1 in 5 Australians are living with disability.

Today we celebrate International Day of People with Disability to promote inclusion, celebrate diversity and raise awareness and acceptance of people living with disability.

We all have a part to play in creating equitable communities and respecting the rights of people with disability.
To make this happen, we need to:

1. Take away barriers that stop people with disability from joining in.
2. Make sure people with disability have the same chances as others.
3. Have health care and good education that everyone can use.
4. Include people with disability in all parts of life.

Be part of creating an inclusive and diverse community. Learn more at idpwd.com.au

Closing the gender pay gap helps keep women safe by promoting their independence and decision-making.

Right now in Australia women continue to earn less on average per year than men. When women are paid less, it sends the message that they are of less value than men. Financial security is also a key factor in the decision or ability to leave a violent relationship.

The pay gap can be even greater for people experiencing racism, ableism, homophobia and transphobia.

Each of us can play a role in creating a society that is safe and equal for women.

By challenging harmful comments in your workplace, sporting club, friendship group and community, you are demonstrating that disrespect is not ok at any level – helping to change the culture that enables violence against women.

“Calling in” isn’t about shaming someone for what they’ve said, but about building empathy for others.

Social media algorithms deliberately push misogynistic content onto young men, leading to many of them perpetrating violence against women.
Let’s talk about it.

Everyone deserves to be safe in their homes and on the streets.
We all deserve a world where we don’t feel like we need to look over our shoulder walking home at night.

But harmful ideas – like the belief that men are ‘owed’ access to women, or that they should use violence to get respect – drive violence against women. All of us can help change these harmful ideas to make our communities safe.

Celebrating everyone’s participation in sport, regardless of gender, helps create a culture where everyone feels safe and equal.

You can have an enormous impact on someone’s journey to safety. If someone you know is experiencing violence, listen without judgement and believe what they tell you.

It’s important not to say things like “so why do you stay?” or “but what did you do?” as these questions place the blame on the person who’s experienced violence. Instead, validate their experiences and let them know you’re there to support them.

You can give them the contact details of a specialist family violence support service. Safe Steps is Victoria’s 24/7 family violence phone line that can be reached on 1800 015 188. 1800 RESPECT is the national domestic, family and sexual violence phone line that can be reached on 1800 737 732. The Orange Door has a Warrnambool base that can be accessed virtually at our Mortlake Community Health Centre, which you can call on 5558 7000.
