    16 Days in WA 25 November 2022 With the annual 16 Days in WA campaign (external site) starting on November 25, it’s a time to reflect and ask how we can all help to end violence against women and their children. The campaign, which begins on the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women (external site) and finishes on Human Rights Day (external site) on 10 December, aims to drive change in the culture, behaviour and attitudes that lead to family and domestic violence. In keeping with this year’s theme, ‘Ending violence against women – it’s everybody’s business’, NMHS is asking everyone to do their part to promote 16 Days in WA. We know that women who have experienced family domestic violence use health services regularly, so we have an important role to play in improving the safety of our patients. King Edward Memorial Hospital will be lighting up orange ...
