Collaboration empowers DV Survivers

In a heart-warming display of compassion and unity, the Mount Morgan Branch of the Queensland Country Women’s Association (QCWA) has taken a powerful stance against domestic violence by donating care packages to the Mount Morgan Police to support survivors.

“With great dedication to making a positive impact, these extraordinary women have rallied together to provide essential items and heartfelt encouragement to those affected by domestic violence,” Mount Morgan Police Officer in Charge, Sgt Christopher Cronin said.

The QCWA is renowned for its community involvement and commitment to social welfare.

Sgt Cronin said this remarkable initiative showcases the strength of rural and regional communities and their commitment to uplifting and empowering survivors.

“Recognising the urgent need to address domestic violence, through extensive networks and collaborative efforts, the CWA members have completed an awe-inspiring campaign to raise donations and gather essential items for the care packages,” he said.

“Determination, coupled with the generosity of our rural community, has resulted in a remarkable collection of goods specifically tailored to meet the unique needs of survivors and their children.”

Sgt Cronin said these thoughtfully curated care packages were designed to provide immediate assistance, comfort, and support to those escaping domestic violence.

They included personal hygiene products, clothing, self-care items, and other practical necessities to help survivors rebuild their lives.

By donating the care packages, the CWA has sent a resounding message of solidarity to survivors of domestic violence. They have demonstrated that rural communities stand united against such abuse, offering their solid support to those affected. Through their efforts, the CWA has not only helped provide tangible resources to survivors but also reminded them that they are part of a larger community that cares deeply about their well-being.

Sgt Cronin said he was greatly appreciative of the donations and show of support, and the care packages would be distributed to those in most urgent need of support escaping from violence.

“This gesture of support from the CWA plays a vital role in restoring survivors’ self-esteem, encouraging them to reclaim their lives and move forward with newfound strength and determination”

Sergeant Cronin said the impact of the CWA’s generosity reached far beyond the material provisions. “Survivors receiving these care packages are not only receiving much-needed physical support but also a powerful reminder that they are valued and respected members of society.”

Sgt Cronin said in a world that often feels disconnected, the CWA’s donation of care packages served as a heart-warming testament to the power of community and compassion.

“It exemplifies the unwavering spirit and resilience of rural communities, reminding us that even in the face of challenges, there is strength in unity,” he said.
