💜 RECLAIM THE NIGHT — BOWEN 💜

On Thursday, 29 October 2026, our Bowen community had the opportunity to stand together, speak out and send a clear message that violence, abuse and intimidation have no place in our homes or our community.

We came together and marched in Reclaim the Night to raise awareness of sexual violence and family and domestic violence, stand in solidarity with victim-survivors, and call for a safer future for everyone.

Reclaim the Night is a powerful reminder that creating safer communities is something we all have a role in. Let’s work together to break the silence, challenge harmful behaviours, and create a community where everyone is treated with dignity, respect and compassion.

💜 Everyone has the right to feel safe.
💜 Everyone deserves to be heard.
💜 Together, we can make a difference.
🎗️ Reclaim the Night — stand together, speak out and take a stand against violence.

Thank you to everyone who joined us, showed their support and helped make this important message heard in Bowen. Together, our voices are stronger.

If you or someone you know needs support, contact 1800RESPECT on 1800 737 732.

If someone is in immediate danger, call 000.

🚫 NO EXCUSE FOR ABUSE — ZERO TOLERANCE 🚫
At Bowen Community Centre, the safety and wellbeing of our staff, volunteers, clients and community members is incredibly important to us.

We have ZERO TOLERANCE for aggressive behaviour, verbal abuse, threats or physical abuse in our centres.

💙 We understand that people may be experiencing difficult circumstances, and our team is here to help wherever we can. However, abuse and aggression towards our staff, volunteers or other community members is never acceptable.
If aggressive behaviour occurs, you will be asked to leave, and police may be contacted if necessary.
Let's continue to make our community centres a safe, respectful and welcoming place for everyone. 💙💚
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
