SOAAR Western Sydney Domestic Violence Forum

March 17th 2011 in Penrith at the Joan Sutherland Theatre (12pm-3:30pm) and in the Greenspace (4pm-6pm). This forum will address experiences of domestic violence and service response for people of diverse sex, sexuality and gender living in Western Sydney.

Speak Out Against Abuse in Relationships (SOAAR) is an educative initiative of Wimlah Refuge located in the Blue Mountains.  Wimlah is currently working in collaboration with Penrith City Council, ACON Western Sydney, the Lesbian and Gay Anti-Violence Project and the Inner City Legal Centre’s ‘Safe Relationships Project’ to hold a free forum on domestic violence for western Sydney services who respond to adults and youth of diverse sex, sexuality and gender experiencing abuse in their relationships.

The aim of the forum is to raise awareness and understanding of abuse as well as enhancing current service delivery for government and NGO workers in Western Sydney who may respond to people of diverse sex, sexuality and gender experiencing domestic violence. Whilst this forum is being held in Penrith, the location was simply chosen as a middle ground to ensure the forum was accessible for all DV service providers in Western Sydney to attend.
