COMMUNITY leaders have rallied to put a stop to family violence and violence against women – under the banner of the Challenge Family Violence program. Star News Group has backed the stance and across the month of November – in the lead-up to White Ribbon Day – will dedicate a lot of time and space to highlighting the issue. During that time, readers will hear from the likes of faith leaders Jim Reiher and Graeme Cann, police sergeant Graeme Stanley, Ormoro community leader Marama Kufi, South East Juniors football boss Shaun Connell, Matt Spencer from the YMCA and Star’s own Garry Howe. All these men have signed a pledge to help influence behavioral change in their circles of influence. Turn inside to read the first installment of the News campaign.
