Reclaim the night this Friday night at Buss Park

A BRIEF HISTORY OF RECLAIM THE NIGHT

Reclaim the Night is a movement with roots in the women’s liberation movement of the 1970s, born from a collective demand for women to be able to walk the streets and participate in public life without fear of violence.

In March 1976, women participating in an international gathering in Brussels marched against violence against women. Inspired by international activism, the first Reclaim the Night marches in the United Kingdom took place in November 1977, when women took to the streets to challenge sexual violence and reject the expectation that women should stay home to remain safe.

Since then, Reclaim the Night has grown into an international movement, bringing communities together to raise awareness, challenge silence and call for change.

Today, its message remains as important as ever: everyone deserves to live free from sexual violence, fear and intimidation.

This October, Phoenix House invites our Bundaberg community to stand together at Reclaim the Night. Show support for people impacted by sexual violence and to make it clear that preventing sexual violence is a shared community responsibility.

No More Silence – Prevent Sexual Violence.
Join us at Buss Park, Bundaberg, from 5pm Friday October 30

Be scam aware

Scammers often target multiple people using the same approach. Sharing a warning can help your community recognise the signs.

You can help by:

• Sharing verified scam alerts from trusted sources.
• Warning friends and neighbours about suspicious approaches.
• Checking in with someone who may need help verifying a message.
• Keeping conversations supportive and judgement-free.

🚩 Never forward suspicious links or unverified claims. Share the warning, not the scam itself!

Together, we can help build a more scam-aware community.

💡 Found an amazing deal? Take a moment to check the seller before checking out!

Scammers know we love a good deal. Fake online stores can look professional, advertise heavily discounted products and disappear after taking your money.

Before you buy:

• Search for independent reviews of the store.
• Check contact details, returns policies and website information.
• Be cautious of prices dramatically lower than those at established retailers.
• Use a payment method with appropriate buyer protections.
