Misinformation can be powerful. Myths about domestic and family violence and family law can leave people feeling isolated, unsure of their rights, or hesitant to seek support. That's why we're busting some common myths and sharing the facts.

At the same time, demand for our Domestic Violence Legal Service has increased by 13% in the past year alone.

With your support, we can close the justice gap and continue helping survivors navigate the legal system: https://www.mlc.org.au/dvss

"A lot of people come to MLC feeling overwhelmed and unsure where to turn. Helping someone understand their rights and available options can often give them the confidence to take the next step."

This month we’re celebrating Jeremy Hardy, who has volunteered with Marrickville Legal Centre’s Youth Legal Service as a Volunteer Solicitor since 2020.

Meet Fatima*. After experiencing domestic violence at the hands of her former partner, Fatima approached Marrickville Legal Centre for critical legal support.

With the assistance of the Domestic Violence Legal Service, Fatima’s Victims Services application was approved. She received a $10,000 recognition payment which allowed her and her child to rebuild their lives in a safe new home.

Sadly, Fatima isn’t alone. Demand for our Domestic Violence Legal Service has increased by 13% year on year, meaning even more survivors than ever are seeking legal help to navigate the complex justice system.

As this demand continues to grow, so does our need for support. That's why we're asking for your help today.

Today is Wear It Purple Day, an event founded in response to countless stories of LGBTQIA+ youth facing bullying and discrimination. The day has become a powerful international movement aimed at providing a public show of love and support to rainbow young people.

Young LGBTQIA+ Australians face significant risks of injustice compared to the rest of the population, and it is up to organisations such as ourselves to improve this vulnerable community's access to justice.
