Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities are being encouraged to support efforts to reduce violence against women ahead of International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women on the 25th of November.
The Stop it at the Start campaign is designed to support communities to talk with young people about respect.
Nyawaygi woman Lani Brennan is a domestic violence survivor who believes the campaign is important to the community.
Ms Brennan said the Stop it at the Start campaign is targeting the disrespectful attitudes and behaviours that parents and other role models teach our young people, often without realising it.
