Please support my walk to end violence against women and children.

Walking towards a safer future

This September, I’ll be taking part in the Walk for WAGEC with the UTS Students’ Association WOCO team, walking alongside others who believe that women and children deserve to live free from violence and have the opportunity to rebuild their lives.

When we talk about domestic and family violence, we often focus on the immediate crisis. What can be less visible is what happens afterwards, particularly for children. Healing takes time, and safety is about much more than finding somewhere safe to stay. It is about creating the conditions for children to feel secure, reconnect with learning and relationships, and imagine a future beyond what they have experienced.

That is why WAGEC’s work is so important. Through safe accommodation, therapeutic programs, educational support and practical assistance, WAGEC helps women and children recover, rebuild and thrive. I particularly love their belief that no child should have to recover from violence alone.

This walk also has a personal significance for me. Almost exactly a year ago, I underwent double ankle reconstruction surgery. Being able to walk comfortably again is something I no longer take for granted, so it feels rather special to put my “new feet” to good use for a cause that helps women and children rebuild their lives.

I’m feeling very optimistic about what we can achieve together. Every person who walks, donates, shares the campaign or simply starts a conversation helps build a community that says clearly: violence is not inevitable, recovery is possible and no one should have to face it alone.

I’d love you to join me in supporting WAGEC’s work. Together, we can help create safer futures for women and children. 💜

💛💛 A huge thank you to everyone who supported my Walk for WAGEC this year.

It was a privilege to walk alongside an incredible team of UTS students, alumni and staff, and to help raise funds for WAGEC’s work supporting women and children experiencing or escaping violence.

Every donation, message and word of encouragement helps. I’m so grateful to everyone who contributed and helped us keep the focus where it belongs: on creating safety, support and a future free from violence.

Thank you for walking with us, in every sense.
