Today is the final day of 16 Days of Activism Against Gender Based Violence and World Human Rights Day.Myth: “It’s just part of their culture.”Fact: There is NO excuse for domestic and family violence.Domestic violence crosses all countries and cultures. Some abusive men claim that in their culture women have a subordinate role and the use of violence is permitted to keep women in line. Some accuse the legal system of attempting to destroy their culture or say that laws against family violence are racist. It is important to maintain cultural traditions and beliefs but this can be done without violence or abuse. Under the law the same standards of non-violent behaviour apply to all.How to get help:In an emergency phone the police on Triple Zero (000).Gold Coast or Beenleigh region: for free counselling, support, information and referral for women and their children who have or are experiencing domestic and family violence, call DVPC (9am–5pm, Monday to Friday) on (07) 5591 4222.For all other areas,call DVConnect: 1800 811 811;or 1800RESPECT (1800 737 732);or visit: domesticviolence.com.au/getting-help/other-dv-services/#16Days #WorldHumanRightsDay #AdvocateForChange ...

Gifting at ChristmasThis Christmas give a woman who has experienced domestic and family violence the gift of empowerment, autonomy and choice.For many women, leaving an abusive relationship means financial hardship for them and their children. It makes Christmas a very difficult time for them.Christmas is also a time when women may feel the impact of financial control and abuse. Financial abuse includes:• controlling a partner’s spending;• making a partner feel incompetent at managing money;• preventing a partner from owning bank cards or cash;• threatening to cut off access to the home/finances;• questioning bank statements;• withholding child support; or• making a partner feel anxious about spending money.Imagine how amazing it would feel for a woman who has experienced financial abuse and control, or is experiencing financial hardship after leaving an abusive relationship, to be able to give her children the gifts she knows they will love.To donate: domesticviolence.com.au/contributing-to-change/support-our-work/#christmas#AdvocateForChange #MakeADifference #Christmas ...
