The Shocking Stats Surrounding Domestic Violence In Australia
60 women killed this year in Australia.
Today is White Ribbon Day; a day when the nation bands together to focus on ending men’s violence against woman.
A silent march is currently happening in the city to honour the 18 deaths since last year in WA alone due to domestic violence. Heidi will rally together with many others to give this horrible epidemic the attention it deserves.
This morning, Heidi, Xavier & Ryan were joined by Angie from Zonta House Refuse Association to talk about the reality of gendered violence in our city and country and what is being done today to fight it.
