Respectful Relationships
Rotarians across Australia, New Zealand, and the Pacific Islands have come together to raise awareness, assist, and offer resources to combat family and domestic violence.
By working together, we can make a significant difference in reducing this pervasive issue across our District, from Sydney Harbour to the top end of the Central Coast and west to the Blue Mountains. We share the common goal of supporting individuals who have experienced abuse and violence within their homes. Rotary Clubs are creating their own projects and events to support the campaign.
Rotary Clubs and our volunteer members seek to unite communities in action, to support and amplify the impact of local support services, and to advocate for education, recovery, and cultural change to stop the silence and end domestic and family violence.
