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.

Men of Friends with Dignity
In this thoughtful piece, Friends with Dignity volunteer Giulia Scenna reflects on the vital role men play in addressing domestic and family violence. Drawing from her own experiences as a survivor and her conversation with Brisbane Freemason Shane Kelley, Giulia highlights how male volunteers not only provide practical support but also help dismantle harmful stereotypes, fostering a safer and more respectful community.
