TOGETHER WE CAN END VOILENCE AGAINST WOMEN AND CHILDREN   As you might know, this year we've decided to raise funds for Polished Man campaign in October to help end violence against women and children.    You might be wondering, where does the money we raise go?   Prevention: One crucial and sustainable strategy for violence prevention is income and economic strengthening. Polished Man provides funds to programs by ygap, that aim to improve families’ economic security which evidence has shown can reduce domestic and family violence. ygap’s work also strengthens norms and values that support non-violent, respectful, positive and gender equitable relationships shown to reduce violence against women and children.   Recovery: While we deeply believe in trauma prevention as the key to ending violence against women and children, we know that so many have experienced trauma already. That’s why Polished Man supports trauma recovery programs that help survivors recover and shape their own futures. Funds raised go to: Rize Up Australia. By funding both trauma prevention and recovery programs, we are able to improve the lives of survivors now, while building a safer future for tomorrow. To support this incredible cause, you can click the image below to donate to our fundraiser. Every dollar counts.    If you're unable to contribute financially, we would greatly appreciate your support by sharing the link below.

💔 Shocking but true: by age 19, 1 in 4 adolescent girls who have been in a relationship have faced physical, sexual, or psychological abuse from a partner. 🚨 To combat gender-based violence, we must tackle this sad reality at its roots. That's why @BethesdaHouse invests in prevention programs in schools. 🏫 We teach children and teenagers how to cultivate healthy relationships, recognize abuse, and bravely seek for help. Let's break the cycle together. 💜 If you want to help us fund these programs, please consider donating to us today: https://loom.ly/7D4hpXo

Gaslighting is a form of control!

It's great to see additional government funding going towards Domestic, Family and Sexual Violence, yet it cannot and meet the breadth and depth of services that are needed on the ground if we are to curb the trends and keep women and families safe. Sydney Women's Fund is not only advocating for a safe, inclusive, vibrant city, it also supports funding going towards critical grassroots services that remain overwhelmed by demand and under-resourced. They have just launched a campaign to support these organisations and better yet, each dollar you donate will be matched. Now's the time to give and support women and children to have a safe place to go. https://lnkd.in/dCrqp3aa

Tomorrow is World Day Against Trafficking! This year's theme is focused on justice - which doesn't just mean arrests, but also successful prosecutions. Success on behalf of the victim and their best interests (which sometimes means not testifying or participating in the justice pricess) -- AND success for society, which means finding alternate means to stopping traffickers by building strong cases for trial. Collective Liberty hosts advanced, in-depth trainings across the nation to equip US investigators and prosecutors with the tools they need to build cases without ever having a cooperative victim. It is on us to provide justice, survivors should not be required to do it for us. Follow us to learn more about our impact, how we're shifting systems to increase accountability for human traffickers while liberating survivors from added trauma from the criminal justice system. Together we can create the world we want to live in!
