New campaign to call out violence against women
Some of South Australia’s most prominent identities are supporting a new City of Adelaide campaign to stamp out sexist attitudes and behaviours and stop violence against women before it starts.
The City of Adelaide is proud to launch its new safety campaign ‘I’m Not Ok With That: Step Up For Gender Equality’.
The #ImNotOkWithThat campaign asks people to become active bystanders in public, with the aim of promoting positive and respectful behaviour to increase women’s safety in our Adelaide community.
More than 20 South Australian identities will champion the cause, including Adelaide Lord Mayor Sandy Verschoor, who wants to encourage people to call out offensive behaviour.
