The Rotary Club of Batemans Bay is proud to support respectful relationships and host the launch of the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence campaign in Eurobodalla, featuring a special presentation of It Starts With Us - Film Presentation and Panel Discussion. This event is proudly presented in collaboration with the Yuin Theatre, Bay Pavilions, Eurobodalla Shire Council and other key community organisations with delicious nibbles kindly served by CWA Batemans Bay.

It Starts With Us is a powerful documentary and social impact project developed alongside family violence prevention advocate Rosie Batty and young people from Frankston North, Victoria. Produced by the renowned arts and social change company Big hART, the project builds upon Project O - a successfully evaluated, arts-based prevention program delivered over the past decade with young people in communities across Australia experiencing high rates of family violence.

Family violence remains a critical national emergency in Australia, with 2 in 5 children under the age of 18 exposed. While there is an urgent need for innovative youth prevention programs, the sector currently receives less than 5% of overall funding. Without meaningful investment in prevention, true systemic change cannot happen.

By combining compelling film and passionate advocacy, It Starts With Us aims to raise vital awareness and drive much-needed funding toward youth-focused prevention programs nationwide, tackling the early behaviors and root conditions that lead to family violence.
