This has got to stop! Family violence is the gravest human rights abuse in Australia today and needs to be addressed in every home, workplace, sporting club and open space. This is not the responsibility of governments and community organizations, it is everyone's responsibility. Take a stand now, look at your own beliefs and actions. What message are you sending the people around you? What behaviors are you role modeling to those who look up to you? Do you condone violence with your silence or do you speak up for those who can't? If we leave to the victims/survivors to fight back this scourge will never leave us. I implore everyone to make a stand now. We must come together on this issue because a whole of community effort and commitment is the only way to defeat this national disgrace. There are many ways to make a stand without putting yourself in danger. These can be found on the White Ribbon website or simply contact me. Enough is enough, lets stop this now.
