Join Us In Ending Family and Domestic Violence

Building a community Alliance to end family and domestic violence in the Region

We Say No to Violence is a collaborative, agency-led initiative based in the Binjareb (Peel) region, dedicated to the prevention of family and domestic violence.

Through awareness-raising, education, and collective action, we strive to create a safer, more respectful community where every individual lives free from family and domestic violence and abuse.

We Say No To Violence

Building a Regional Alliance

We Say No to Violence [WSNTV] is a community project to raise awareness, improve understanding, and take action to prevent family and domestic violence in the Binjareb (Peel) region. The Peel Community Development Group [PCDG] worked with founding members Ovis, Allambee, Peel Community Legal Services and Choyces to build an Alliance of community organisations and individuals.

In 2016, the PCDG won Building Safe Communities for Women funding from the Department of Social Services to undertake the project. Allambee now leads WSNTV with Choyces, OVIS Community Services, and Peel Community Legal Services.

We know that family and domestic violence grows out of gender inequality, beliefs and behaviours that disrespect women, and rigid or stereotypical gender roles and identities. These situations can lead to one person feeling that they have the right to control their partner’s actions.

Eliminating family and domestic violence is our goal for the Binjareb (Peel) region:

it needs us all involved.

Our Aims

Increase community understanding of family and domestic violence in the Binjareb (Peel) region.

Increase awareness of the support services available for women and children experiencing family and domestic violence.

Create a movement of people—the ‘Alliance’—in the Binjareb (Peel) community who will pledge to undertake action around family and domestic violence.

Support and celebrate the actions of the Alliance.

This website tells the stories of family and domestic violence (FDV) in the Binjareb (Peel) region, gives information and support to organisations and individuals who would like to join the Alliance and supports current Alliance members with ideas and support.
