Plus Community and the Staying Home Leave Violence Team are hosting a white ribbon walk in Buronga on December 8 to raise awareness about violence against women and take a stand against family and domestic violence.

The community walk will begin at the Buronga Wetlands at 11.30am and finish at the Buronga Health One Building. Organisers are calling on local residents to join them in helping to stop more women and children from becoming statistics in a death toll that should not exist.

Following the walk, the Far West Local Health District together with local services will host a powerful cultural art workshop from midday to 3pm at the Buronga HealthOne facility and Yarning Circle.

The workshop will be led by a local Aboriginal artist and participants will work together to create a community art piece dedicated to eliminating violence against women and children.

The artwork will be proudly displayed in local health services as a symbol of unity, healing and change.

The organisers emphasise that no woman or child should live with the daily fear of being hurt or having their life taken away, especially when it is done by someone who claims to love them.

They are encouraging community members to lend their voices and be part of something that makes a lasting difference.

The event is part of the 16 Days of Activism campaign and the team will also be present at the Maari Ma Balranald women's pamper day this year for community engagement during this period.

The organisers plan to hold more local community events in future.

Those interested in joining the walk or wanting more information can contact Yeva on 048 791 029 or Jaime on 0427 828 755.
