Each May, Queensland marks Domestic and Family Violence (DFV) Prevention Month. This annual initiative aims to raise awareness of DFV and Coercive control, highlight the support services available and send a clear message that violence in our communities will not be tolerated. The theme for 2025 is: Take positive action today to build a safer Queensland.
On Saturday the 24th of May, the Burdekin Domestic and Family Abuse Network hosted the 2025 Burdekin Domestic and Family Violence Awareness Walk.
Members of the community, Police, State and local government, Burdekin Area Youth Watch, Zonta club and local and regional service providers gathered at the Anzac Park in Ayr and participated in a Walk to Stand up and say NO to domestic and family violence and raise community awareness about this issue that is affecting so many in our community.
Councillor Fina Vasta officially opened the event and started the Walk, Aicey Zaro did a blessing, Sergeant Dan Dew gave a talk about DFV and I was the emcee on behalf of the Network.
We wish to thank everyone for taking action and raising awareness.
