Family violence is one of the most serious issues to affect our homes. Violence between husbands and wives, partners and family members can affect anyone, in any community.
Everyone has the right to be free from violence. This includes being free from emotional and verbal abuse.
A special video message from the Director of the Office of Ethnic Affairs, Mervin Singham, for White Ribbon Day, 25 November.
Children, who witness family violence, may experience feelings of fear, frustration and anger which can seriously harm their future.
Help to keep them safe. Help to combat family violence. Join the White Ribbon campaign.
