Men rallying against DV
MEN across the region are being called to take a stand against domestic violence at the upcoming Real Men Rally, a peaceful community event set for Sunday, August 31 at Kayo Stadium, Redcliffe.
The rally aims to highlight the widespread impact of domestic violence, raising awareness of the trauma it causes and the urgent need for change.
Organisers are encouraging husbands, fathers, brothers, sons, uncles, and friends to unite and send a clear message that violence has no place in homes or communities.
Rather than a protest, the event is designed as a constructive space to learn about the scale and complexity of domestic violence, with practical advice on how to respond appropriately if confronted with such situations.
It seeks to empower men to become allies and role models, while fostering safer communities where women, children, and families can live free from harm.
The rally will also address the personal and social costs of domestic violence, from individuals living in fear to the lasting impacts on families and the broader community. By bringing people together, organisers hope to replace silence with action and encourage meaningful conversations about prevention and support.
The Real Men Rally will run from 9 am to 11 am, with gates opening at 8:30 am at Kayo Stadium, 148 Klingner Road, Redcliffe (entry via Gate 1).
Entry is free, families are welcome, and community members are encouraged to register online to stand united in the call for safer, stronger, and more respectful communities.
