No matter what form it takes, family violence is never acceptable. We all deserve to be safe, respected and valued in all our relationships. This 10 May is Are You Safe at Home? Day. 10 May is an opportunity to start the conversation. Ask. Listen. Believe. If you’re worried someone you know might be experiencing family violence, it can be hard to know what to do. But you don’t need to be an expert. By just asking, listening and believing, you can make a huge difference. You can access more resources on how to support someone and how to ask the questions at www.areyousafeathome.org.au/someone-you-know You can also reach out for help if you are worried about someone. That includes reaching out to Project Respect. If you or someone you are worried about have experience in the sex industry and are experiencing family violence, you can call, text or Whatsapp Project Respect on 0477 001 110, Tuesday to Friday 9am - 5pm, to explore your support options. Outside of those hours, you can leave a message for call back. Similarly, if you or someone you are supporting has experienced sexual exploitation (whether or not you/they identify as having experience in the sex industry), you can also contact us. We are not a crisis response service. If you need urgent support you can call: - 1800Respect on 1800737732 - Lifeline on 13 11 14 or you can call emergency services on 000.
