Why it Matters
1 in 4 Australian women experience domestic violence.
With sustainable, long-term recovery support, she rebuilds her confidence and restores her independence. She rebuilds her financial and employment capability. She strengthens her emotional resilience. She grows in confidence and strength as a parent.
She builds the capability to make her own contribution to society.
And for her children, it breaks the cycle.
That's the 4 in Walk 4 Women. Every step you take stands for one of the 1 in 4.
This is what recovery looks like
“I left with nothing, no job, no savings, no idea how to rebuild. My daughter told me she wants to be 'strong like mummy. That's breaking the cycle.”
Eighteen months later post program, Emma is financially independent, working full-time, and rebuilding with her daughter. (name changed for safety)
