The Hunter White Ribbon Day Breakfast @ Newcastle Panthers
Violence against women is a serious problem in the Hunter. 1 in 3 Australian women over the age of 15 have reported experiencing physical or sexual violence at some time in their lives. These are our partners, daughters, grandmothers, nieces and friends.
In addition to the obvious personal costs to the women involved, this violence costs our community and economy $13.6 billion annually. The profound medical, social and economic consequences of this violence are too grave to ignore.
You can put a stop to violence against women, don’t be afraid to stand up. Swear the Oath to never condone or commit violence against women.
Join the conversation.
And remember, thousands of good people have got your back.
