Sports and recreation settings
Sporting clubs and groups are often at the heart of local communities. They can be meaningful places to influence positive behaviours and attitudes towards family and gender-based violence.
Safe and Inclusive Sport: Preventing gender-based violence
A guide to support gender equity and the prevention of gender-based violence through sport.
The Victorian Government’s Safe and Inclusive Sport: Preventing gender-based violence guide acknowledges the enormous capacity of sport to influence positive attitudes and behaviours around gender equity and the prevention of gender-based violence.
The guide provides 10 guiding principles, case studies and practical tools to support state sporting associations, regional sports assemblies, women’s health and community health services, local councils, and other organisations work together to develop and implement prevention of gender-based violence projects in community sport settings.
