Friday morning, with a special invitation from SBS Somalia Producer Hassan Jama, Dorothy along with Peter Berg and Ahmed Tohow (both Rotary Melbourne), were given the opportunity to talk about Rotary SAFE Families Inclusive Communities Initiative for the Somalian program on SBS.
We were able to convey our mission to support and inform CALD Community Leaders of their role in the prevention of family abuse whilst maintaining the family unit.
The concept of giving Men a Choice and Women a Voice was very well received by the program manager.
Another of our Inclusive Communities’ team, Shakilah Wesonga is presenting our project in Swahili on SBS Swahili radio on Monday morning.
We are delighted to be invited to present and receive fantastic wide reach throughout Australia via SBS. We used this opportunity to invite Somalian groups to reach out to us so we can provide the free Workshop and printed resources for their use within their communities.
We know that abuse can be difficult to talk about, but let’s feel the fear, and talk about it anyway.
Remember, abuse prevention begins with YOU and ME.
Thank you Rotary Hawthorn for your support.
