Today, we’re reminded that HIV still matters. By wearing a red ribbon, you can help break down stigma, support people living with HIV, and honour those we’ve lost. #worldaidsday #hivstillmatters

Trans people in Australia report a range of barriers that make it challenging to participate or prevent them from participating. Regular participation in sport/fitness was associated with significantly lower psychological distress and 40% less odds of recent thoughts of self-harm and suicide.

Today is the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women. Gender-based violence affects women, trans, & gender-diverse people in sport. Sport can drive change by challenging toxic norms & creating inclusive spaces. Let’s make sport safe for everyone. #16DaysOfActivism #NoExcuse
