WHY WE’RE WALKING

This is a national crisis.

Every 11 days, a woman is killed by an intimate partner, with 79 women and 27 children killed in 2025 alone. 

Every fortnight, a child dies as a result of domestic and family violence. 

It’s devastating. It’s unacceptable. It’s why we walk.

Domestic violence was a declared a national crisis in 2024.
