Public meeting: How do we stop violence against women?

Tuesday, March 18, 6:30pm

Coburg Court House, 1A Main St Coburg (next to the old police station on Bell St).

Speakers: Trish O'Donohue (CEO, Women's Information, Support and Housing in the North) Phil Cleary (former independent federal MP & anti-violence campaigner); Sue Bolton (Socialist Alliance councillor for Moreland). 

Since the rape and murder of Jill Meagher in Brunswick there’s been an upsurge of activity opposing violence against women in the Moreland area. Measures such as more CCTV cameras and decreased rights to parole for offenders have been pushed. But can the police and the courts address the real causes of violences against women, and what are the alternatives?
