Domestic violence is a growing epidemic that affects everyone. Within Victoria there are no supports specifically catered for men/fathers and their children who are the victims of domestic violence. We ask the government to provide funding to an organization that is capable of serving these men/fathers and children that are fleeing violent partners and their specific needs.

The Government of Victoria have provided $100,000 for animals fleeing domestic violence but nothing for men/fathers and their children fleeing family violence.
