Event focus to stop domestic violence
Domestic violence prevention and education is on the minds of community organisations as White Ribbon Day approaches on November 25.
Busselton White Ribbon ambassador David Gurney said the number of women abused by their partners was staggering.
“One woman a week is killed by an intimate partner or former partner so we are trying to create awareness and give the skills and tools to people to help stop perpetrators,” he said.
The committee encourages residents to attend an awareness-raising breakfast at the Equinox Bar and Restaurant on November 25, with all funds donated to women’s refuge Tuart House.
Busselton Senior High School’s three-week active life-style challenge is donating funds directly to White Ribbon, in partnership with the Zonta Club.
Members of local government, police and community organisations will also show support.
