Violence against women isn't an issue we can leave to police, courts or frontline services to solve.

Prevention starts much earlier, in our homes, workplaces, schools, sporting clubs and communities.

With rates of domestic violence-related and sexual assault rising in the Illawarra, we all have a role in changing the attitudes and behaviours that allow violence to continue.

So, what can we do to make a difference?

New research has revealed the scale of online abuse facing women in politics - and the worrying impact it is having on whether women choose to run, stay or encourage others to put their hands up.

We stand with the women representing the Illawarra and with every woman who chooses to step into public life.

Political debate is part of democracy. Misogyny, threats and intimidation are not.

A big thank you Wollongong Homeless Hub for inviting the Illawarra Women’s Health Centre to be part of their Services Day, held as part of Homelessness Week.

It was a wonderful opportunity to connect with the community, share information about the support available through our Centre, and connect with other local services working to support people experiencing or at risk of homelessness.

We love opportunities like these that bring local services together, strengthen our connections and help ensure women in our community know where they can turn for support.
