NO MORE was founded in the Northern Territory in 2006 by Gurindji man and ABC commentator, Charlie King, AM. Charlie was travelling around the Northern Territory talking with men in aboriginal communities about the issues they face. The elders told Charlie that domestic violence must end. The men said “NO MORE” and, “ALL MEN SHOULD LINK UP”
Charlie drove back from that community and envisaged sporting fields where players, coaches and officials from opposing teams would link up to show a united stand against domestic and family violence, and from there the campaign was born.
NO MORE takes a whole-of-community approach. Reducing domestic and family violence needs men and women to stand up as individuals and come together to find solutions.
This is why NO MORE partners with sporting organisations, Aboriginal communities, councils, businesses and individuals who all have a common goal – to end domestic and family violence.
