This Girl Can Week is back, running from 10 to 17 November, inviting women across Victoria to take part in a range of free and low-cost activities aimed at bringing people together to get active. With activities as varied as cultural dance, basketball, stand-up paddleboarding, and even active playgroups, the week offers something for women of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities, making it easy to join in and feel included.
VicHealth’s Head of This Girl Can, Rebecca Ahern, emphasises this year’s theme, “Together We Are Unstoppable,” which celebrates the collective strength of women getting active together. “When women feel safe, supported, and welcome, they can find confidence in movement,” says Ahern. “This Girl Can Week 2024 is a celebration of joy, community, and connection, and it’s a chance for women to discover or rediscover activities they love in an environment that champions inclusivity.”
For many women, overcoming the fear of judgement and finding welcoming spaces to be active can be the biggest hurdles. This Girl Can Week is focused on reshaping what “getting active” means by creating safe, accessible, and beginner-friendly options that defy stereotypes about who should be active and how.
Whether a novice, returning after a break, or trying something completely new, there’s a place for everyone in This Girl Can Week. For details on events near you, head to thisgirlcan.com.au/events to join in on a week that promises connection, movement, and a whole lot of fun.

Dear Reader,The Indian Sun is an independent organisation committed to community journalism. We have, through the years, been able to reach a wide audience especially with the growth of social media, where we also have a strong presence. With platforms such as YouTube videos, we have been able to engage in different forms of storytelling. However, the past few years, like many media organisations around the world, it has not been an easy path. We have a greater challenge. We believe community journalism is very important for a multicultural country like Australia. We’re not able to do everything, but we aim for some of the most interesting stories and journalism of quality. We call upon readers like you to support us and make any contribution. Do make a DONATION NOW so we can continue with the volume and quality journalism that we are able to practice.
Thank you for your support.
Best wishes,
Team The Indian Sun
