This weekend is the annual ‘Women in Footy weekend’ which coincides with Mother's Day. The WRFL Women’s Football Foundation is encouraging all WRFL Clubs, players and officials to purchase pink shoelaces to support the work of the Foundation and Women's HealthWest.
This year, the Foundation has taken on an critical community initiative through a partnership with the Western Region Local Government Network and Women's Health West. Together, the Foundation is supporting and promoting the "Preventing violence against women" initiative during this Weekend by promoting critical anti-violence messages and through the purchase of the shoelaces.
The WRFL will be taking a stand with its Community Partners throughout the Season against family violence incidents which affect 1 in 5 Victorian women during their lifetimes, and which is the leading cause of death, disability and illness in women aged 14 to 44. Further information will be distributed to all WRFL Clubs shortly to support this critical message and initiative.
