Leaving a DV relationship is courageous for so many reasons... one of which is that it can leave women in poverty. You can help by making a donation: givenow.com.au/micahprojectsg… Thank you for your support 💚

There is absolutely no excuse for domestic violence. Tonight we light a candle to remember the lives lost to DFV & stand with our national community united in grief. Respect for women is paramount in ending DFV and respect for women starts at the top. #enddv #lightacandle2021

The Palaszczuk Govt is investing an extra $30M over 4yrs for DFSV services to help respond to increase demand.   Due to the ongoing impacts of COVID-19, DFV service providers have seen an increase in the complexity of cases & the number of people seeking support. #qldpol
