Today is World Human Rights Day. This marks the final day of the 16 Days of Activism, which began on November 25 with International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women. The 16 days of Activism is a UN campaign to raise awareness about gender based violence, challenge discriminatory attitudes and call for improved laws and services to end violence against women.

We are always very grateful for the amazing support we receive from our community. In the past quarter a number of organisations have hosted events supporting Mary’s House.

Pink Elite – hosted a high tea with Mayor Gayle Giles-Gidney in attendance. Guests were treated to a performance by Winnie Han, an opera singer with the voice of an angel.
