Child and Family Services Ballarat (Cafs) stands with communities across Ballarat, Victoria and the world for the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence, running from November 25 to December 10.
The international campaign, led by the United Nations, calls for action to prevent violence against women and promote respect and equality. The theme this year is ‘UNiTE to End Digital Violence Against All Women and Girls’. Cafs CEO Wendy Sturgess said Cafs is a leader in delivering early intervention responses to keep families safe and together. “Through programs like our Men’s Behaviour Change Program and Dad’s Toolkit, we provide strategies that support accountability and promote safer relationships without the use of violence.”
