How Northern Integrated Family Violence Services supports Week Without Violence

International Week Without Violence (WWV) is an annual campaign to end violence against women is about. Since 1999, the northern metropolitan region (NMR) has marked the week, primarily through the Clothesline Project, where every year, hundreds of people paint and display T-shirts to raise awareness about family violence. We chat all about the campaign with Robin Gregory who is the Regional Integration Resource Worker for Northern Integrated Family Violence Services.

As a community, we stand united with victim survivors of family violence.

Join the Virtual Campaign Draw your Message on a T-shirt:

Facilitate a virtual group session with service users to write, draw or paint a message against family violence on a T-shirt. Alternatively service users may like to do this alone. Hold a virtual T-shirt drawing session during a team meeting and take a screenshot to share. Create a T-shirt and consider sharing, or curating an online collection, with colleagues. Use your own T-shirt or download a paper T-shirt template.

Get inspired about what to draw on a T-shirt.
