As reported in the District Update by DG Ron Payne, Rotary SAFE Families gets District 9800 endorsements.
 

Reproduced from the District Update

We are asking you to promote in the first week of December, our own Rotary SAFE Families initiative. Rotary SAFE Families is endorsed by Rotary Foundation Australia, and we are proud that it is a District 9800 campaign made freely available to all Rotary Clubs.

Rotary SAFE Families seeks support and recognition from your Club. Family abuse is a national problem. Family abuse will not disappear without your Club’s support. Rotary SAFE Families has all the resources and marketing you need to endorse it as your Club’s project on its website:

www.rotarysafefamilies.org.au

Suggestions for promoting our Rotary SAFE Families include:

Show the 2 minute film “Help Rotary Reduce Family Abuse” https://youtu.be/cr-Sjf4rJQY at your meeting.

Ask your Club to show one of the following Rotary SAFE Families films at a meeting, followed by open discussion using the notes seen below the film on the SAFE Families website.

Domestic Violence & Its Impact on Children https://youtu.be/DJnAQIOec60

Rotary SAFE Families Inclusive Communities Initiative is a collaboration between Rotary Hawthorn and Melbourne and your Club is invited to be part of this collaboration. ICI has been created with fantastic resources in 7 different languages for your Club to reach out to your diverse communities to support them in prevention of abuse. A key focus of Rotary International is Diversity, Inclusion and Equity. Your Club can convey this by using the Inclusive Communities resources. See website for all information.

Use the Rotary SAFE Families website’s logos, wallet cards, flyers. Promote in your Bulletin and your website, your Club’s support for prevention of abuse to anyone, anywhere, anytime.

Be like Rotary Chadstone/East Malvern and use the resources to help prevent abuse.

Contact Dorothy Gilmour: info@rotarysafefamilies.org.au to become an Ambassador Rotary Club for SAFE Families.

Break the silence on violence and make a difference by talking about it.

Yes, abuse is difficult to talk about, but feel the fear, and talk about it anyway!
