The statistics are sobering: Intimate partner violence is the most common type of violence against women, affecting 30 percent of women worldwide, according to a 2013 World Health Organization report.
As many as 38 percent of murders of women are committed by an intimate partner.
In New Zealand, a dozen women are killed by their partners or ex-partners each year.
And in Australia, a woman is killed, on average, about every week.
Did you know that The Rotary Club of Highton is listed as a charity on the CDS App, which means you can donate some of your refunds from recycling cans and bottles to us. The donated funds will be used to continue to support Blister Pack Recycling at Pharmacies - so the more funds we collect, the more recycling boxes we can provide. Here is a quick video to show you how easy it is to recycle and choose Highton Rotary as the beneficiary.
