Did you know we help support women fleeing family and domestic violence?

Sadly violence against women and children is at an all-time high, especially in our community. Through our GROW program we help women to rebuild their lives - away from the violence and fear.

Recently the CEO of The Centre for Women's Safety and Wellbeing spoke to the media about what we, as a community, need to do to protect women and children.

You can check out the work we do here 👉 https://bridgingthegap.org.au/current-client-programs/grow-program/ 🥰 and If you can spare it, you can donate your refund to our GROW appeal https://shoutforgood.com/fundraisers/Funds4GROW Your donation will be tax-deductible, so donate before June 30!

Our CEO Alison Evans addressed the media yesterday to talk about what more needs done to reduce the high rates of violence against women and children in our community.

Despite progress we have not succeeded in significantly reducing violence against women and children. While increases in reporting may be due to women feeling more supported to come forward and seek help, we must reduce the prevalence.

If we are to significantly reduce violence against women and children funding must be sufficient to take up the evidence effectively in practice and policy.

We must have a safe and well-funded family and domestic violence system that safeguards victim-survivors and prevents further harm and domestic violence homicide. Every agency – judiciary, police, health, education and community services – must be pulling in the same direction.

We must have well-funded specialist family and domestic violence services to ensure the safety, health and wellbeing of adult and child victim survivors during and after crisis. No victim survivor should be left waiting to get the support that they desperately need.

We must have well-funded and timely interventions and programs to support people using violence to change their behaviours.

We must have pathways into housing for victim-survivors who still face the impossible choice of violence or homelessness.

We must fully fund criminal and civil law responses and the responses of the entire family and domestic violence system to respond safely and effectively to coercive and controlling behaviours not just incidents of physical violence.

It is urgent and it is necessary.

We owe no less to victim-survivors and their families.
