🗣 “As long as poverty, injustice and gross inequality exist in our world, none of us can truly rest” – Nelson Mandela
Violence impacts women in ALL communities and across all income levels – and sadly, living in poverty can increase the risk of violence.
ℹ️ For more than 20 years, ‘Anti-Poverty Week’ has campaigned to make sure that ALL Australians can cover the basics and have a secure roof over their heads. Learn more via ➡️ antipovertyweek.org.au
✊ We can ensure that poverty is not the inevitable outcome of violence. Anti-Poverty Week organisers say, the keys to unlocking poverty for women and their children leaving violence, are adequate income support – above the poverty line – and safe and affordable housing 🙏
🤝 CAWLS proudly stood alongside DASA Alice Springs, Anglicare NT & Lutheran Care on Friday, to acknowledge ‘Anti-Poverty Week’ and highlight services available for Territorians.
