Today, our hearts are filled with deep admiration for the extraordinary strength and unwavering love that mothers embody. However, as we gather on this Mother's Day, we must focus on the countless mothers and families who bear the profound scars of domestic violence. In this moment, we remember Zahra—a beacon of courage—who, against all odds, shielded her children from harm and nurtured them into the incredible humans and change-makers they are today.
Today, we extend our genuine solidarity to all mothers and families whose lives have been forever altered by the anguish of gendered violence. Your resilience in the face of unimaginable challenges serves as a constant source of inspiration to us all. We recognize the weight of your stories and affirm that your voices deserve to be heard—loudly, passionately, and without reservation.
Together, let us intertwine our hands and offer unwavering support to all those affected by the darkness of gendered violence. Today and every day, we stand beside you, providing solace, compassion, and resources as we strive towards healing and restoration.
In the spirit of this Mother's Day, let us celebrate mothers' remarkable strength and work together to dismantle the systemic barriers that perpetuate gendered violence.

Last night, Adelaide welcomed Sue and Lloyd Clarke

Last night, Adelaide welcomed Sue and Lloyd Clarke who shared their powerful and compelling story at the “Coercive Control: See the Signs” event hosted by Minister @katrinehildyard MP. 400 South Australians attended to learn more about the insidious forms of non-physical family and domestic violence that cause significant harm to women, are present in 99% of relationships that end in homicide - and are currently not recognised as criminal.

Our CEO Kelly-ann Tansley spoke on an expert panel with MC @janecaro57, Zita Ngor and Craig Rigney about how we see coercive control manifest in the lives of women we work with at the Zahra Foundation - with a focus on financial abuse and recovery.

We were thrilled to see bipartisan support for criminalising control in South Australia and look forward to working with our Parliament to ensure these laws are crafted carefully and supported by public education, training for police and the judiciary and are informed by the experiences of victim survivors and their communities.

We're thrilled to announce that with the support o

This fundraiser has been a huge success, and we want to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who has donated or participated so far. Your generosity and commitment to this cause will help us to continue making a real difference in the lives of women and non-binary people.
