Rotary Safe Families
Rotary Safe Families
We promote that family abuse NOT be a "taboo" topic and that we all have a moral responsibility to call out and report abuse and support a victim applying our "3R's".
These simple "3R's" can be a significant step in the primary prevention of any form of abuse and violence to women, men, children and elderly of any global community:
- Recognising the signs
- Raising our concerns with a victim; never the perpetrator
- Referring to the appropriate agency for support OR Make the call yourself!
Rotary SAFE Families was acknowledged as a Rotary 100 Year Centenary project in 2021 in Zone 8 and supported by Rotary Foundation Australia.
