It's not OK

Family violence causes death, injury and fear. It causes families to break up and jeopardises children's health, education and social outcomes.

The four year Campaign for Action on Family Violence will help us change the way we think and act about family violence.

White Ribbon Day, 25 November, is the international day when people wear a white ribbon to show that they do not condone violence towards women.

The Families Commission believes very strongly that healthy, positive relationships within families do not include people hitting each other.
