Safer Spaces At Festivals is a campaign and charter of best practice originally launched in 2017 to tackle sexual violence, harassment and assault at festivals. It was relaunched in May 2022 by AIF in partnership with Rape Crisis England and Wales, Good Night Out, Safe Gigs for Women, Girls Against and UN Women.
They have created a Charter for independent festivals to commit to take all reports of sexual violence seriously. This is combined with processes, health resources, signage, and promotion of consent principals to gig-goers. They’ve got 90 signatories so far, and growing.

Safer Venues WA advocates and celebrates on the unceded lands of the Whadjuk Noognar people. We pay our respects to Elders past and present. We pay deep respect to the rich knowledge, culture, music and songlines in the continuation of their culture for the past 45,000+ years in South Western Australia.
