One in three women has experienced physical or sexual violence at some point in their lives.


Family violence can affect anybody, but migrant women face additional barriers when they need to get help.

If you're a victim of family violence or know someone who does, call 1800 RESPECT to get help.

If you need an interpreter, call 13 14 50.
