Curtin University students launch domestic violence campaign

Denise S. CahillEastern Reporter

CURTIN University students have developed a Victim to Victor campaign to change the way people think about those who have gone through family or domestic violence.

The nine students –Sebastian Tarrant, Mason Burton, Claire Wilson, Emily Schon, Sophie David, Daniella Chadinha, Lachlan Goddard, Aidan Richards and Israel Nai – aim to break the intergenerational cycle of violence.

“Whether or not we have personally experienced the issue, we must all alter our perceptions from one of pity and remorse to one of empowerment and strength,” Mr Tarrant said.

To support the campaign,
