Lake Macquarie Domestic Violence

30/10/2026

A huge thank you to everyone who came along to support our Reclaim the Night event. 💜

It was wonderful to see our community come together in solidarity and show their support for those impacted by sexual violence.

A special thank you to our MC Rachel, the wonderful Anna Weatherup for sharing her talent, St Paul’s Aboriginal Dance group for a spectacular performance, the Lions Clubs for cooking up the BBQ, and all of our Lake Macquarie DV Committee members who work together to make events like this happen.

But Reclaim the Night is about more than one evening. It’s about remembering why we need to keep showing up, speaking out and advocating for change.

Reported sexual assault rates in Lake Macquarie have risen by more than 16% in the past two years. Behind every statistic is a person, a family and a community impacted.

Everyone deserves to feel safe. We will keep working towards a community where women and children can live free from violence and fear.

Thank you for standing with us. 💜
