1 in 6 women have experienced violence by an intimate partner. (*AIHW, 2018)

National statistics can help us understand the gravity of the situation, but alarmingly, many victims of domestic and family violence will never report their experience. With many incidents going unreported, domestic and family violence may be much worse than we think.

With something as simple as a new set of clothes, health care professionals have noticed that survivors of domestic family violence are more likely to move to their next step of freedom from abuse.

It only costs approx. $50 to dress one woman with dignity. $50 equals underwear,outerwear including t-shirt, skirt, footwear, hat and glasses.

Convoy of Hope partners with local churches and organisations to distribute clothes to DFV survivors.
