Dhanya Mani

Activist, survivor, writer, and founder of Kate’s List

“I am a survivor of child abuse, who has been repeatedly re-victimised as an adult through my experiences of domestic violence and sexual assault. I believe that prevention of domestic violence is the key to breaking the often lifelong cycle of re-traumatisation and re-victimisation that countless women like myself have endured - and presently endure. I am also particularly passionate about amplifying the voices and experiences of women of colour."

"Serious issues for women of colour living in Australia including attempted or actual forced marriage, and reproductive coercion, have impacted my life. These issues, and many more that are rarely part of the national conversation, continue to impact countless women of colour. Every day that we fail to recognise the threats they face is another day that we risk their lives. I want to dedicate myself to shining a light on these issues, and advocate for the reforms needed so that all women and children can feel safe and represented. That is why I am so humbled by, and grateful for, the opportunity to be an ambassador for Full Stop."

Mary Konstantopoulos

Founder of Ladies Who League

"Violence against women and children is completely unacceptable in any context. Unfortunately we still live in a world where gendered violence is still a problem our society is dealing with.

As a person who is passionate about gender equality and who truly believes in the importance of respect, I am so proud to work with Full Stop Australia which has such a vital role in raising awareness about violence against women, and educating and supporting our communities until sexual assault and domestic violence are completely eradicated.

We all have a role to play and I am committed to helping create a more equal and tolerant world."
