It takes courage for someone to disclose sexual assault. How you respond can make a big difference. Sometimes words aren't needed and simply listening without judgement can be the biggest support.
The #GeelongCandlelightVigil is a call to action to speak up, lift the veil of silence that surrounds family violence, and reach out for support. We welcome the community to hear from Simone O’Brien, a family violence survivor. events.grlc.vic.gov.au/event/10474205
We're ensuring MPs know about the sexual violence in their LGAs this Sexual Assault Awareness Month. @CCouzensMP: 257 sexual offences were reported in Greater Geelong in 2023. This statistic just scratches the surface as 9 in 10 women do not report sexual assault.
32% of our clients’ access support for sexual assault that occurred more than 12 months ago. 32% of our services were for clients accessing support for previous childhood sexual assault. Recovery is a personal journey & can happen at any time. We are here to support you.
1,847 clients accessed our support services for sexual assault in Barwon and Wimmera in 2023. Demand for our support services continues to rise as we saw a 16.7% increase from 2022. You are not alone, it is not your fault and support is available.
The Aim for Change Gala has made an incredible impact to our organisation, with more than $77,000 raised. We've been able to develop child friendly resources, hold trauma-informed yoga classes, provide art therapy and much more. To support the 2024 event: shorturl.at/eiowP

You can make a difference in your community and help prevent violence against women. How? By promoting gender equality at home, at school and at work. Here are some ideas to help you get started!
Solidarity to everyone marching so that women can live without being raped, demeaned, pathologised, bashed, stalked, harassed, brushed off when we say we are at threat of these things and murdered. So that we can take risks, live freely, depend on our govts to uphold our rights.
I asked this last week, and I’ll ask again. Media, please include Men’s Referral Service on 1300 766 491 for those at risk of using violence, it regularly gets forgotten.

Nine women have been killed in Australia in the last 18 days. On average, that is one woman every second day. The latest victim is 67-year-old Lesley Stillman, killed by her ex in WA. Lesley’s ex also took his own life, leaving a note: “Won’t get justice. Will die with her.”
