2023 #KEEPKIDSSAFE CAMPAIGN

2023 #KEEPKIDSSAFE CAMPAIGN

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF COUNTRY

It’s a Penalty and our supporting partners acknowledge the traditional owners of Australia, the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, and Māori as Tangata Whenua of Aotearoa New Zealand. We recognise their history, customs and traditions.

Every child has a right to be safe from abuse and exploitation, during their lives, and as they play sport.

From 20th July-20th August 2023, Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand will host the FIFA Women’s World Cup.  This year, It’s a Penalty, our athlete ambassadors and partners are teaming up to highlight the importance of keeping kids safe, particularly in sport.
