White Ribbon - not violent, not silent

1/8/2014

0 Comments

 
As a professional counsellor I have come across a staggering number of people who have experienced domestic violence. Of the people I have seen so far in my practice men have perpetrated ninety eight percent of the physical violence. 

Three cases come to mind; a girl who witnessed her father murder her mother. A man ordered to attend relationship counselling after a 13-year sentence in prison for murdering his wife with a shotgun. Another man threatened to murder his wife and leave her in a pool of blood in front of their small children.

These are mothers, daughters, sisters, wives and friends. These women are you, me and people we know.
These women have parents, brothers, husbands and friends who care and grieve for them. 

We all need to be educated on what IS domestic violence.
Please join us on the 25th of November to support women. 
To find out more about activities in your local area check out the events section on Australian and New Zealand White Ribbon websites.
Thank you
