Respect is the building block of all healthy relationships.
Jenny’s Place have been supporting women and children to break free from the cycle of domestic violence and homelessness in the Hunter for over 40 years.
Through their work, they know that one thing is certain – where there’s respect, there’s safety.
Executive Manager of Jenny’s Place, Marcia Chapman believes we all need to remain accountable, especially as we celebrate days such as International Women’s Day.
“We’re all responsible for our own words and actions,” Marcia said.
“We can all contribute to a gender equal world.”
Throughout March, Jenny’s Place are running their International Women’s Day campaign, #RaisingRespect.
“We’re asking you, our community, to host a morning tea and raise a cup to help us raise respect and raise funds to support women and children experiencing domestic violence,” Marcia said.
By raising respect through our conversations, understanding and interactions with others, as well as raising funds for Jenny’s Place, we can lead the change to a more respectful and equal future.
A future where women and children can feel safe, respected, and equal in communities free of domestic violence and homelessness.
If you want to help raise respect but don’t know where to start, Jenny’s Place have put together some great resources to begin conversations and initiate real change.
