If you have been or are supporting a person who has been a victim of sexual violence in Queensland, the below podcast may be of interest.

The 5 part series covers:

- How to get help if somebody has committed sexual violence against you
- What to expect in Hospital
- What happens if you report to police
- The court process
- What happens if the perpertrator is sentenced.

While it cannot make up for a person's experience, it can help take out some of the uncertainty surrounding sexual violence.

No matter who you are. It is not ok. It is not normal. And a perpertrator may be anybody. You don't know what goes on behind the scenes.

✨ Know a young woman who is making her mark? ✨

She might be building a business, leading an innovative idea, creating change in her workplace, pursuing a business-related field of study — or using her skills and entrepreneurial spirit to make a real difference for women, girls or our environment.

We want to hear about her!

The Zonta Women in Business Leadership Award recognises women aged 18–35 who demonstrate:

🌿 Exceptional leadership in business, a business-related field of study or industry
💡 Entrepreneurial spirit and innovation
🤝 Ethical leadership
🌏 A significant contribution to issues affecting women and girls or to climate justice

And there is an exciting opportunity for nominees — one application, three opportunities.

A single application can lead to:

JOIN US THIS SATURDAY.

Join us on Saturday October 3rd at the Uniting Church Hall on Hinchinbrook Drive from 9am for a productive morning of folding birthing kits and eating lots of home cooked yummos.

Every year we pack 800 birthing kits which are sent around to countries whose women face challenges when it comes to hygenic, safe birthing conditions.

If you want to take part in a fantastic morning, help save a life or two, then pop on down. We would love to see you
