Domestic violence campaigner Rosie Batty AO will be the keynote speaker at a special event as part of the 16 Days of Activisim against Gender-Based Violence at Pakenham Library next month.

A joint event with Cardinia Shire’s Together We Can and Myli – My Community Library, the special event will be held from 6pm on Thursday 28 November.

Rosie became a voice for change after the devastating loss of her 11-year-old son, Luke, at the hands of his father.

Rather than remain silent, she is channelling her grief into action, becoming a tireless advocate for family violence prevention.

Rosie has received significant recognition for her work, including being named Australian of the Year and leading the State Government’s Victim Survivor’s Advisory Council.

She is the author of two books, ‘A Mother’s Story’ and ‘Hope’.

While the event will cover sensitive topics, including family violence, it is a vital opportunity for the Pakenham community to come together, reflect, and inspire change.

Seats are limited and early booking is encouraged.
