Our Impact
Domestic violence affects 1 in 4 women and 1 in 14 men in Australia (pmc.gov.au). 2 in 5 Australian children are exposed to domestic violence (acms.au). At Friends with Dignity, we believe every survivor—and their children—deserves a fresh start.
Through the dedication of our volunteers, sponsors, and donors, we provide safe, welcoming homes and practical support to help survivors of domestic violence rebuild their lives.
