As of September 2024, 47 women have been murdered from domestic violence in Australia. This figure is unacceptable, and it shows how much more work we need to do as a country. NGOs such as The Women’s Community Shelters in Australia play such a vital role in providing short-term emergency accommodation to women who need a safe space, after experiencing incredibly tough situations.
As a small brand, founded on wanting to empower individuals, and also as a gay man who has been raised and uplifted by incredible women all my life, we wanted to do our part, however small it may be.
Over the last few weeks, we packed our totes with essential non-perishable goods (dry goods, canned food, hygiene products etc.) and accompanied them with postcard embellished with the words, “You are enough”, to be distributed to a few women's shelters in NSW.
Keep having tough conversations, speak up for those that are vulnerable in your community, educate your young and remember that, “You are Enough”.
