Domestic Violence Vigil

Another woman has tragically been murdered by her partner as a result of domestic violence in South Australia over the past several weeks.

Deaths due to domestic violence are both unacceptable and preventable.
If you feel the need to publicly acknowledge the loss of lives due to domestic violence, you are invited by The Coalition of Domestic Violence Services of  S.A. Inc.to attend:

When: Thursday 1st December 2011@ 4.00 pm
Where: Parliament House, Adelaide
Please bring a red rose to acknowledge the loss of lives.


The vigil is also about raising awareness that – domestic violence is not, as reported, “a domestic dispute” but a deliberate and planned strategy that  perpetrators use to retain control over women partners or former partners and children.
