A collective of services have come together to develop an initiative that prevents domestic and sexual violence on the Central Coast.

I would really appreciate your help with both completing the survey and sharing it widely with others in the community.

These vigils are important opportunities to honour those that have lost their lives to abuse and to acknowledge the challenges for those that have escaped and those that are still trapped in these relationships. I encourage you to attend.

Online trolling often targets marginalized women and can have severe consequences, including forced relocation and career abandonment.
