We want to get into local primary schools in Sydenham and Forest Hill and teach lessons to children about domestic violence. We do not want young people to suffer domestic abuse when there are ways to inform people and stop it from happening by teaching young children the signs of domestic abuse and who to report it to.
Young children bear the scars of domestic violence and can later in life become violent to their own family. We believe teaching young children about the consequences of abuse may stop the cycle of violence from repeating itself.
Please sign our petition to support us and know that it is not in vain.
The feedback I have received from members of the community confirms that our schools must address the reality of domestic violence. My current focus is preparing a formal proposal to present to local primary school administrators.

The response to this initiative has been significant and confirms the local appetite for these preventative measures. This momentum suggests that our neighborhood is ready to engage in the necessary conversation about protecting vulnerable children.

This is so needed. Kids see way more than we think they do and they need to know it isnt okay to be treated mean or hurt by anyone.

I wish someone had told me this when I was little. Would have saved me a lot of trouble later on. Keep going!!

STOP THE CYCLE. Kids grow up thinking hitting is normal if they see it at home. Teach them better now.
