We are committed to ending violence against women. We hold a deep understanding and knowledge that violence is experienced by women and children regardless of class, ethnicity, religion, age, abilities or sexual preference. Part of supporting the safety of women and children includes holding perpetrators accountable for their use of violence, and challenging them to take responsibility.
We are a partner in the Wimmera South West Orange Door who are the intake service for all family violence services across the region. The Orange Door is a free service for adults, children and young people who are experiencing or have experienced family violence and families who need extra support with the care of children.
