Like many women in Australia, Kianna has experienced family violence and sexual assault. She has also been to prison.

Kianna has joined the Advocates for Change program because she believes that women who have survived violence do have a voice. She believes that they can come together and create change for all victim-survivors.

Kianna is doing a series of videos to answer some of the thoughts and concerns you may have before joining us in advocacy.

You are not alone. Your experiences matter. You have the right to feel safe, to be supported.

We acknowledge, with deep respect the Palawa people, the traditional owners of Lutruwita. The Palawa people belong to the oldest continuing culture in the world. They have lived in union with Country for many thousands of years. We express gratitude for their custodianship and stand with Palawa people in the declaration that sovereignty remains unceded.

We recognise that gender is not binary and proudly welcome people of all genders and sexual orientations.

RESPECT

We acknowledge, with deep respect the palawa people, the traditional owners of lutruwita (Tasmania/Van Diemen’s Land). The palawa people belong to the oldest continuing culture in the world. They have lived in union with Country for many thousands of years. We express gratitude for their custodianship and stand with palawa people in the declaration that sovereignty remains unceded.

We see gender inequality as both the cause and the context of family violence. Only by actively challenging gender-based oppression can we achieve positive and respectful relationships within healthy, inclusive structures and institutions. This outcome will ultimately benefit the whole Tasmanian community.
