Future of the project
The Project in 2024
Project Vision
Domestic violence (DV) is a major issue in Australian Society - from one in five women dying from DV in 2023 to one in four so far this year. Fifty percent of the work of our police is DV related.
This project will aim to provide a platform for those working in the DV field and local Rotary Clubs to start a process of working together to develop strategies to prevent, raise awareness of and mediate the effects of DV.
Reducing the incidence of DV will not happen quickly, it may take several generations, however it is time to start now to work together. Preventing DV is a community responsibility.
