In Australia at least one woman is killed every week by a current or former partner. Often children and men are also the victims of these homicides. Each May the nation stops to remember those lost to domestic and family violence.
Redland City Council, together with the Centre for Women & Co and the Red Rose Foundation joined in a nationwide one minute's silence on 1 May 2024 at the Redlands Coast Candle Lighting Vigil to remember those who have lost their lives because of domestic and family violence.
The vigil, held at Raby Bay Harbour Park was attended by more than 160 people who came together as a sign of solidarity to mark Council's support to Domestic and Family Violence Prevention Month.
