Walk For Respect

 
Inviting Your Organisation to Say NO with Rotary
2024 Walk for Respect
Saturday 14 September 2024
 
Rotary in South Australia is seeking you and your organisation’s support, by joining with us on Saturday 14 Sept 2024 In the “Walk for Respect”. This walk follows up on our inaugural walk in November 2023 which attracted more than 1,000 people and received considerable media coverage.
 
A lot has happened over the past 12 months culminating in the State Government decision, soon after our inaugural walk, to hold a Royal Commission into Domestic, Family and Sexual Violence in South Australia.
 
To maintain the momentum in the fight against domestic violence, we are planning a second peaceful walk from Victoria Square to the Elder Park Rotunda. The walk will start at 10am, taking about 30 minutes to stroll 1.2 km down King William Street where some key partners will address attendees to share their views.
At the end of the walk and after hearing from these speakers, there will be opportunities for walkers to stay a while to mix with fellow walkers, share stories and interact with some displays from local DV support organisations. Coffee and food options will be available.
 
To ensure success for this walk, we need the support of the general community, as much as organisations involved in the area of domestic violence. We would encourage and invite your organisation to register to be a Group walking in the Parade. Following that, it would be fantastic if you could encourage your staff; customers and supporters, to walk behind your lead banner to promote your organisation and its support.
 
Please see the accompanying flyer for more details or visit our Parade website: -https://walkforrespect.au/about-the-parade/groups-register-for-the-parade
 
Your Staff and Supporters (individual walkers) are able to register for FREE. https://e.mybookingmanager.com/2024-Rotary-Walk-For-Respect
 
This is an opportunity for all of us to make a peaceful, non-confrontational statement on Domestic Violence, while educating the wider community, particularly in recognising Coercive Control.
 
I urge you to register your organisation for the walk (https://e.mybookingmanager.com/2024-Walk-For-Respect-DV-Group-Registration) and invite all to join us on the 14th of September.
