Show your support for SVA Month by hosting an event and registering the details on the Women's Safety and Violence Prevention community events calendar.
The calendar promotes events delivered by community organisations that help bring the community together to advance women and girls, including those who identify as women.
During the month, we encourage all Queenslanders to engage in open and honest conversations about sexual violence.
Events and activities are happening across the state to support victim-survivors and to encourage discussion around consent, respect, and bystander intervention.
If you have been impacted by sexual violence, know that is not your fault and you are not to blame.
Everyone deserves to be safe from sexual violence. If you or someone you know has experienced sexual violence, help and support is available.
The Queensland Government is committed to addressing all forms of sexual violence, harassment and abuse and eradicating these forms of violence from our communities.
The government has made strong progress in addressing sexual violence, along with intersecting forms of violence such as domestic and family violence. This includes the release of Prevent. Support. Believe. Queensland’s Framework to address Sexual Violence through three priority areas: prevention; support and healing; and accountability and justice.
