As part of the Matter of Respect project, Falam Chin and Karen community leaders in Melbourne’s east have led the development of a series of postcards and posters with messages around gender equality. They include:

• Strong boys cry posters (Falam Chin / Karen)
• Girls can be as loud as boys posters (Falam Chin / Karen)
• Dads can clean the house posters  (Falam Chin / Karen)
• Women can lead posters (Falam Chin / Karen)
• Girls can be any size posters (Falam Chin / Karen)
• Girls can play with cars posters (Falam Chin / Karen)

National and international evidence demonstrates that gender inequality and rigid stereotypes are a predictor of violence against women.

Matter of Respect is a community-led project working with the Karen and Falam Chin communities in Melbourne’s east to challenge gender stereotypes and increase understanding of how to prevent family violence.
