Violence in the home, particularly violence against women, affects households across Australia. Women from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) communities are less likely to report this violence.

To break down these barriers, Reeta is working with two local councils to develop programs that engage with Indian families to open a dialogue on family violence.

The program aims to nurture and support women to break the silence of loneliness, connecting them with other community members as well as local police and professionals.
