This interview is about getting comfortable with uncomfortable conversations regarding domestic and family violence. 1 women is killed every week at the hands of a current of former partner.
CEO of 4 Voices, Joanne Westh, saw a need to fight for the rights of women and children, connecting with at risk women and girls over a cuppa so they feel safe enough to share their experiences, seek help and access life changing support.
4 Voices create a safe space where women can relax and start to trust again. Their vision is a world where any girl or women, who feels unsafe or alone can find her voice.
I get to work along 4 Voices on their outreach program, doing haircuts, connecting with the Team and their guests.
They are a remarkable organisation.
