10 deaths in last year due to domestic family violence. White Ribbon Day marked annually on November 25. Western Australian MPs wore white ribbons in State Parliament in a united stand against domestic violence and the elimination of violence against men, women and children.

Women's Council for Domestic Violence co-ordinates Memorial March, starting from Stirling Gardens, 11.50am. 2011 marks the 21st year of White Ribbon Day.

A safer community through access to information on sex offenders. Western Australian parents will be able to give better protection to their children by being able to access information on sex offenders living in their community under new laws proposed by the Liberal-National Government. Child Protection Minister Robyn McSweeney said child sex offenders did immeasurable damage to vulnerable children and the State Government had a responsibility to protect children from paedophiles. "These laws will allow parents and others who are suspicious about a person involved in their child's life or vicinity to check if they have been a convicted sex offender," Mrs McSweeney said. The Community Protection (Offender Reporting) Amendment Bill 2011 (No. 2) will be introduced into State Parliament week starting 7-Nov-2011.
