Home for Christmas, but not always safe...

The festive season is often painted as joyful, warm and full of connection.

But for many women and children, Christmas and New Year are among the most dangerous times of the year.

Across Australia, evidence shows family and domestic violence spikes during the so-called β€œsilly season”.

Behind closed doors, the holidays can bring fear, not peace.

Take a moment to consider those in the most dangerous of places this Christmas.

Their homes.

As you get ready for your festive season, think about:

πŸ‰ Donating to food banks, community pantries, and food insecurity organisations
🧸 Getting your donations (especially things that can be regifted) into ops shops early
πŸ’Ό Encouraging your employer to gift time, money, or skills to not-for-profits who get busy at this time of year.

πŸ’› If this season feels unsafe, you’re not alone.
