Family and domestic violence is a national crisis that can often feel big, overwhelming, and out of our control. Many people want to help but feel it’s out of their reach to make a meaningful change.
At Luma, we know there’s so many ways to part of the solution, and influence the culture that condones abuse and violence. It starts with sexism, supporting survivors, calling out harassment and so much more.
We’re sharing the little ideas that play a big part in stopping family and domestic violence, from our lovely Luma team. Because the small things usually turn out to be the big things.
‘I taught about my niece about what consent means. I believe in talking openly about this subject and encouraging her to challenge a woman’s role in society.’
‘I call out sexist jokes when I hear them, because domestic abuse is deeply rooted in inequalities between women and men. When we call out sexist jokes, we change the way people think about women.’
‘I speak openly and share simple and accurate information about the impacts and the issues related to family and domestic violence, to the people around me.’
‘I want to speak out for those who can’t, so my daughters recognise domestic violence as something that occurred in the past, rather than from experience’
‘I believe and support survivors. By believing them, we encourage others to step forward and challenge the stigma of family and domestic violence.’
