So.... What is Orange Friday
It's a day to support a cause called Shine, which is working to make NZ homes violence free.
Domestic violence is actually a BIG problem in NZ, just take a look at these shocking facts! (sourced from the Orange Friday website)
Every 5 minutes the Police attend a domestic abuse callout
1 in 3 women will be physically or sexually abused by an intimate partner in her lifetime
1 child is killed by a family member every 5 weeks
1 women is killed by a family member every 3.5 weeks
Orange Friday is all about raising awareness (and funds) for shine and making people aware of the problem.
I'll be supporting Orange Friday (maybe not raising any money, but creating awareness counts too!) so join me in supporting this good cause!
