DOMESTIC Violence Month is about to end but in Redlands the message of non-violence will continue after Redland City Council distributed 60,000 stickers.
Communities, Women and Youth Minister Shannon Fentiman told state parliament this week Redlands was standing out as a community which had taken steps to curb the rising statistics.
She said Redlands was one of 60 areas which received a portion of a $150,000 government allocation to fight domestic violence.
“From Goondiwindi to Gladstone, communities are calling out violence against women. We want to drive home the message that domestic and family violence is not acceptable—not now, not ever,” she said.
“…In the Redlands, I was proud to join the member for Capalaba at the launch of the ‘Non-violence is contagious: give it to your friends’ sticker campaign.
“This fantastic campaign has seen the local DV service WAVSS Across the Redlands, community groups and the Redlands City Council send out 60,000 stickers to local residents, sticking them around their neighbourhoods and even on JJ Richards garbage trucks.”
