A Local Domestic Violence Survivor Shares Her Story With Nick, Jess & Simon

Last Thursday, White Ribbon Australia announced plans to close doors after falling into liquidation. 

"It is with profound sadness that the board of White Ribbon Australia informs the community and supporters that it has taken the very difficult decision to close its doors."

But despite this news, White Ribbon's purpose remains vital. The organisation aimed to engage men to make women's safety a man's issue too. Their vision was that of a nation in which women could be free from abuse. 

White Ribbon encouraged anyone with plans for White Ribbon Day to continue those alongside the International White Ribbon movement, adding, "Even though White Ribbon Australia’s journey ends here, we know that the work of our partners and communities will continue. Eliminating men’s violence against women must remain a priority". 

Nick, Jess & Sam spoke to a local survivor of domestic violence this morning to learn about her experience.
