As part of Sexual Violence Awareness Month this October, Whitsunday Counselling and Support will host its main community event, Reclaim the Night, at Coral Sea Marina Gardens. The evening will feature guest speakers including MP Amanda Camm and Officer in Charge Anthony Moynihan from Whitsunday Police, followed by a walk along the Airlie Beach Foreshore.
Attendees are encouraged to bring signs, or pick one up from the team on-site. Live music by Dylan Hammond, light nibbles, and networking opportunities will follow the walk.
“This is such an important issue in our community — one in four women experience some form of sexual violence in their lifetime,” said organiser Charlotte Jones.
This is the first event of its kind in Airlie, with hopes to make it an annual tradition.
