Over 30 people attended the Forum to hear about the domestic homicide review process and how it can reduce and prevent the domestic violence related deaths of women. People were also keen to hear about the DVCC campaign particularly the flower laying ceremonies and how rural and regional areas conducted their own ceremonies and presentations of red roses to local Members.
An important part of DV DRAG campaign has been to get the message out to remote areas and consult with them on how remote communities can participate in a future review process. It was fantastic to connect with not only the workers in the Mt Isa area but also to hear about the integrated response they have developed as a community in responding to women and children affected by domestic violence. My thanks to Shirley Slann for her work in pulling the forum together and her hospitality.
