Ipswich couple working to end the cycle of domestic violence in their culture

A Pacific Islander couple are speaking out about breaking the cycle of domestic violence within their culture.

Ipswich couple Moughan Sali-Siaki and Judy Fakaosi are working to unlearn the behaviours modelled to them when growing up, which often placed the father as the sole decision-maker.

After some troubling times in their relationship, the pair made a promise to do better by each other, especially to encourage change for future generations.

They now facilitate the relationship program that once helped them.
