DOMESTIC VIOLENCE : SHINE BRIGHT CANDLELIGHT VIGIL: THE COSTS AND CAUSES

 

For anyone in or around Melbourne on the 6th of May, 

please go along to Federation Square for a candlelight vigil 

being held by Victoria's statewide DV Crisis Line. 

They're doing fantastic work in Victoria 

speaking up for the need for specialist women's services 

and against violence against women. 

They're even speaking up about their considerable concerns 

about what's been happening to women's refuges north of the border in NSW. 

They definitely deserve support.

Men and faith-based organisations have been given power 

over women fleeing violence and abuse - 

sometimes fleeing, with their children, for their lives.
