Starick
Starick is a Perth-based, independent not-for-profit organisation working to end family and domestic violence. Their Respectful Relationships Sport and Recreation Program (RRSRP) was created to support sporting organisations build capacity around respect, inclusion, safety and gender equality, laying the groundwork for long-term cultural change.
Starick's Respectful Relationships Sport & Recreation Program recognises that there is enormous potential for sport and recreation organisations to inform positive cultural change.
The RRSRP is an evidence-based program to promote and foster respect, equality, and inclusion. It supports State Sporting Associations, sport and recreational youth-based organisations, and regional local governments by building their capacity to promote respect, inclusion, safety, and gender equality, with the longer-term aim to create the cultural change required to prevent gender-based and family and domestic violence.
