- Know Your Rights
Family violence can happen to anyone in our community, and anyone can help end it.
Family violence doesn’t always involve physical or sexual abuse. People can use a wide range of abusive behaviours to maintain power and control in relationships. No matter what form it takes, family violence is never acceptable.
The 10 May is Are You Safe at Home? Day , which is an opportunity to start the conversation. Ask. Listen. Believe. If you’re worried someone you know might be experiencing family violence, it can be hard to know what to do. But you don’t need to be an expert. By just asking, listening and believing, you can make a huge difference.
In recognition of Are You Safe at Home? Day Knox City Council in partnership with Monash and Maroondah Councils are delivering a free online webinar know your rights, navigating family violence supports on Wednesday 14 May, from 7.30 – 9pm.
Writer and researcher Jane Gilmore will moderate a panel of speakers from Eastern Community Legal Centre, FVREE (Free From Family Violence) and inTouch. They will explore the rights of victim survivors of family violence and how to navigate support services, including legal, housing, financial and recovery.
Book here to attend the webinar
