From Djirra- Sharing stories, finding solutions, please see the below link to support: Help Aboriginal women escaping family violence Australia is facing a national crisis of violence against women. Here in Victoria, Aboriginal women are 45 times more likely to experience family violence than other women. And the number of Aboriginal women seeking support continues to rise – Djirra experienced a 22% surge in demand in the first three months of this year alone. While violence against Aboriginal women is increasing, and we are already devastatingly over-represented in family and sexual violence statistics, our frontline services and community-led solutions remain critically underfunded. This is why we URGENTLY need your help with a tax-deductible donation this end of financial year https://lnkd.in/gmS2XXbp

Recent research has underscored the critical need for societal change to address and eliminate family violence.

Individuals who are experiencing any of the following are at increased risk - here are 7 Red Flags. Voice of Change is committed to being at the forefront of this movement. Our focus on arts projects and education, inspired by cutting-edge research, is designed to drive the cultural shift we desperately need to end family and domestic violence.

Together, we can invoke the change we wish to see. #domesticviolence #timetochange #familyviolence #change #nationalcrisis

Rape is not just a crime; it's a violation of the most intimate form of trust and dignity. It leaves scars that may never fully heal and shatters lives in unimaginable ways. It's time to break the silence and raise awareness about the prevalence of rape and sexual violence. Let's educate ourselves and others about consent, respect, and the importance of believing and supporting survivors. Together, we can work towards a world where everyone can live free from the fear of sexual violence. #EndRapeCulture #BelieveSurvivors #ConsentMatters #NoMeansNo #BreakTheSilence #RapeAwareness #SupportSurvivors #EndSexualViolence Learn more at: https://lnkd.in/gCvV74bB . . #NGO #NonProfit #Charity #HumanRights #SupportNGO #NGOWork #SocialJustice #NGOImpact #Volunteer #CommunitySupport #Survivor #EndViolence #BreakTheSilence #SupportSurvivors #SpeakOut #EmpowerSurvivors #HealingJourney #StrengthInSurvivors #ViolenceAwareness #Recovery

But there are also fewer places that men in abusive relationships can go for support and information. For men, domestic violence is more likely to involve: ▪️ Verbal abuse ▪️ Threats they will lose parenting rights ▪️ Emotional and psychological abuse 𝗘𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗽𝗲 𝗧𝗼 𝗕𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗙𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 is one of the few domestic violence support services that is gender neutral.

Sadly, modern slavery exists and it's closer than you think. Today there are 50 million people worldwide under someone else’s exploitative control. But you can help change that. Most people equate modern slavery solely with sex trafficking, but in reality out of 50 million people in modern slavery: - 19.9m are in forced labor in private or state-run companies - 1.4m experience domestic servitude in private homes - 6.3m are in forced sexual exploitation (1.7 million are children) - 21.9m are in a forced marriage to which they have not consented Thankfully, Hope for Justice and Slave-Free Alliance is working to bring an end to modern slavery and human trafficking. But they need your help. You can help them by donating here or at the link below: https://lnkd.in/gNnb9Y8j Together we can see families reunited, vulnerable people protected, and a world free from slavery and human trafficking. #nonprofit #charitablegiving #humantraffickingprevention #givingback

As the treasurer and trustee at Advance for the past 10 years, addressing the growing issue of violence against women and girls is a mission close to my heart – and I found the new report commissioned by the National Police Chiefs’ Council and the College of Policing very disturbing.   It reveals a national emergency of “epidemic levels” and a staggering 37% increase in the number of violent crimes against women and girls in England and Wales between 2018 and 2023. With countless unreported crimes, these figures represent merely the “tip of the iceberg.”   At Advance, we are dedicated to supporting women and young girls affected by domestic abuse and abuse in the criminal justice system. Though not widely known, Advance wields significant influence in local and national government regarding violence against women and girls. Thus far, we have supported 8,497 women and girls for the year ending March 2023.   Recognising the critical need for early intervention, we have developed a targeted program aimed at school-aged girls, offering training and vital support to prevent future harm. This initiative is vital to stopping the cycle of abuse before it starts.   To expand our reach and amplify our impact, we must move beyond relying solely on contracts and actively seek funding. We invite you to join us in this crucial endeavour, at our upcoming event in central London on October 17th, at Asia House, W1, from 6:30pm to 9:00pm.   This event is an opportunity for you to learn about the prevention programs Advance provides for girls and teenagers in schools, hear directly the stories of survivors of domestic abuse, and discover actionable solutions to this urgent crisis. It’s an opportunity to be a part of the solution.   As leaders of your business, please come along to learn more if you’re interested in being part of the solution. Please also reach out or introduce me to other individuals or organisations in your network who might be interested in supporting this important work.   Whether financially or by spreading the word, your contribution can make a substantial impact. Together, we can make a meaningful difference and create safer environments and brighter futures for all vulnerable women and girls.   Sign up to Advance’s event here.   #AdvanceCharity #DomesticAbuse #Charity #DomesticAbuseCharity #WomenSupportingWomen

Reasons Individuals May Hesitate to Discuss Sexual Assault and Domestic Violence Let’s break the silence together. Addressing sexual assault and domestic violence is crucial for creating a compassionate society that supports survivors. It’s time to understand why these topics are often shrouded in secrecy and stigma so we can build a community based on empathy and open dialogue. Keep in mind that these lists are not exhaustive but offer valuable insights into why individuals, regardless of gender, may hesitate to share their experiences openly. Join us in making a difference. Imagine the transformative power of just $1. It may seem small, but when combined with the generosity of many compassionate hearts, it becomes a force of change capable of shaping monumental differences in the lives of survivors. Your humble contribution holds the potential to bridge the gap in essential resources, ensuring that more victims not only find safety but also receive the vital support needed to embark on a journey of healing. Your donation of $1 can be the catalyst that turns cold statistics into heartwarming stories of hope and resilience. Together, let's empower survivors and pave the way for a safer, brighter future for our communities. Every dollar counts in our collective effort to build a better tomorrow.
