GENDER inequity and disrespectful attitudes are acknowledged forces contributing to violence against women.
The City of Hume bears some of the highest recorded incidents of this violence within Victoria.
The Respect: Join the Club video has been developed with the participation of local EDFL clubs, the EDFL, AFL Victoria and Dianella Population Health.
It demonstrates the ways in which these clubs are creating sporting environments that encourage female involvement in the game at all levels.
This video is a tool that reinforces a message of gender equality within footy at a community level, by showing that this is accepted behaviour and by showing it in action.
