Tomorrow begins the UN's 16 Days of Activism against gender based violence (25th of Nov - 10th Dec).
This year SI Mackay have built upon our successful "Walk the Talk" campaign from last year and created posters to be shared with local businesses in the Mackay area. We've also included a letter outlining what we are doing and why along with details for domestic violence services.
The philosophy behind the "Walk the Talk" campaign is based on respect. Respect for each other's differences and respect for each other as fellow human beings.
Some might ask how our walking around the Mackay region handing out posters and letters about domestic and family violence will make a difference.
It makes a difference because we are doing something.
Even if that something is getting people to open up and share to someone they trust.
Even is it means that someone suffering might take the courage to call and connect with people who can help.
It is about raising awareness and helping people see things differently.
Visit our Facebook page to see how businesses have embraced the idea of promoting our campaign and displaying a poster (or two!).
If you or someone you know needs help, call DV Connect on 1800 811 811.
