It's time to stop the violence

In just the past four months, 27 women across Australia have been allegedly killed by the hands of a man.

The increase in family violence, not only locally, but across the nation, is why The Express is partnering with local police, Women’s Centre FNQ and Cairns Regional Domestic Violence Service to launch a campaign to stop the violence. 

The colour purple is a symbol of courage, honour and dedication to ending domestic violence, which is why, this week, we have changed the colour of our masthead. 

This month is Queensland Domestic and Family Violence Prevention Month, the time to #StandUpSpeakUp against domestic and family violence and show your support for victim-survivors across our region and beyond.
