Melissa Minter from Strengthening Family Connections outlined how close to home the domestic violence epidemic is for all of us.

The Capricorn Coast has Queensland’s second highest rate of domestic violence.

Rigorous campaigning promoting this event sent a message to the wider community that violence against women and children is not acceptable.

Naomi Arnold is part of Engaging Women’s growing movement to progress social change.

She’s a young entrepreneur, feminist and human rights activist.

“I am beyond words honoured to be one of these Ambassadors.

I have been on a mission of late to use my growing platform to give back and progress social change, so hosting an Engaging Women Ambassador event came at the perfect time for me.

It was incredibly rewarding and I got so much out of it personally and professionally. Witnessing such a beautiful group of women, girls, and event sponsors band together to make the event happen, raise as much money as possible for our local non-profit, and show up to role model how important our chosen cause was, left me feeling incredibly inspired.” recalls Naomi.
