The event also supported the QIFVLS ‘NO2DV’ campaign, including presentations from NO2DV Ambassadors – https://no2dv.com.au/
Ambassador and QIFVLS staff member Andrew Adidi shared:
This is a message that means a lot to me, and to so many of us. Too many of our families, our mobs, have been hurt by domestic violence and sexual assault. It’s caused pain that runs deep—through generations. But it doesn’t have to be our story moving forward.
That’s what NO2DV is all about. It’s about our communities—our Elders, our young people, our families—standing strong together and saying enough is enough. No more silence. No more shame. No more violence.
As an ambassador, I’m here to help share that message—wearing the shirt, sharing on social media, having those honest yarns, putting up posters, handing out merch. But more than that, it’s about showing up and being a voice for change in my community.
Because change starts with us. With our strength. With our culture. With how we look after each other.
So if you—or someone you know—is passionate about standing up to DV and helping our communities be safer and stronger, come and see us today. Have a yarn. Find out how you can get involved.”
