The story doesn't end there...

Because it’s not just a number, not just one individual. 

In Australia, domestic violence is the single biggest driver of homelessness for women and children.*

In fact, 40% of those seeking homelessness support are women and children fleeing from violence in their homes.

When it comes to intimate partner violence, children are not passive witnesses. Children are even used as tools for coercive control by offending partners.

When violence can happen at any time…

Children live in a climate of fear. Their dad is someone who inspires fear. Their mum is someone who survives fear.

There’s no one who can be their parent. Fear, trauma and anxiety become the window to their world.

And when there’s no choice but to leave home to stay alive, it means leaving behind everything.

No school, no friends, no home.

It’s no wonder that children who have been exposed to domestic and family violence are likely to experience a range of negative impacts like impaired cognitive ability, poorer educational outcomes, depression and other mental health challenges, low self-esteem, and bullying (as victim or perpetrator).

Let’s not forget. Children mirror the world around them.

Global studies show witnessing parental violence is the highest risk factor linked with the likelihood of committing violence in adult relationships*.

Almost half of all youth perpetrators have been victims of family violence*.

The cycle continues.

And so…

1 in 4 becomes everyone.
