Hey Brothers of the Brooms,

I am about to take part in the White Ribbon Foundation "Trek for Respect" in September 2017. The trek is being held to raise funds to educate young people about domestic and family violence and how to have respectful relationships.
After working in the community service sector for the past 12 x years I have seen and worked with many young people affected directly from family violence. In 2013 I became I White Ribbon Ambassador as my work moved to working with Men and now working with Men who are enacting violence within their families and are looking for a better way to do their relationships.
I am asking anyone who would like to donate straight to white Ribbon to support my cause. Please follow this link:trek4respect.everydayhero.com/au/sign-up
All donation are tax deductible and very appreciated.
I will be at Scotts Head Comp this weekend I you would like to say hey or learn anything about the Trek or the work we do in Men's Domestic Violence Behaviour Change Programs http://stepupmate.com.au/on the Mid North Coast of NSW. Cheers Ian Robinson

Cheers heaps ET, as you can tell by the massive response to this post.....pfffftttt its an up hill battle, but as Men able to work with Men around the hurt n harm they cause within their families, we are whole heatedly in the game to end Domestic & Family Violence as we all have Women in our live that we would hate to see this happen too,
Cheers all,
Ian
Fact: on average 2 x Australian Women are killed by their current or ex- partner every week!!!

Legend mate! If only one kid doesn't have to go through trauma because of all the stuff you do in your career with white ribbon you've done an amazing job. I'm guessing it will be much more but you will never be able to know, like speed cameras and r b ts stopping someone dying on the road. I bet there is a person who is having dinner with their family right now, instead of being dead...because of the police doing these things. But they will never know. Same as this stuff you do.

Hey Joe,

Mate I really appreciate your kind words, but I am no legend, just sick of seeing the violence and abuse and had to take a stand as hard as it is at times.
All our Women deserve way better then the deal they are getting.
Cheer,
Ian

So you're happy to help out if it's for women in the US.. but not for women in Oz?

Just kidding.. .. btw it's great that they have PayPal on their system and you can easily offer any amount no matter how big or small.

You guilted me, DJ--successfully.

I am in. Great cause and great concept with which to improve circumstances we shd be ashamed to ignore.

Thanks, DJ--feel better for having helped.


Now get some GD waves going here in the NE US pls!


PHlaaaaaat

Thanks mate..

I just chipped in some more in appreciation..

I'm still amazed at that 2 die a week figure.. Imagine how many are bashed but not killed..

Much appreciated DJ, I could rattle off some more very sobering stats but if anyone is interested go to : www.whiteribbon.org.au/ read Simone's story

Its why we are targeting early intervention/primary prevention strategies to educate kids cause in 2017 this sh%t shouldn't be happening to our mothers. aunties, cousins, sisters, daughters and friends
