15.01.2022 What a great initiative for victims of DV. - - -

15.01.2022 Its been reported that the incidents of domestic violence will spike during the COVID pandemic particularly, in households who face strict lockdowns on top of mounting financial pressure. In those circumstances, victims are isolated more than ever before. A hand signal has been developed that can be subtly used by the victim during a video call with friends, family, medical professionals and the like. If you receive a hand signal, the advice is:... **Say nothing out loud once youve spotted the signal ** Nod or signal back with an okay sign or thumbs up to let the victim know youve received the message and continue verbally with the conversation you were having **Once the call has ended, ring the safe steps 24/7 Family Violence Response Line on 1800 015 188 to ask for advice on how you can get your friend or family member help. - - #covid19 #domesticviolence #domesticviolenceawareness #domesticviolencehelp #familylaw #copefamilylaw #cfl #cairnsfamilylawyer #cairnsdivorcelawyer
