On average, one Australian woman a week is murdered by her current or former partner. One in three women has experienced physical violence by the age of 15.
Voice of Change was founded to amplify the voices of victim-survivors of family violence, to champion meaningful education about – and action against – family violence, and to bring about prevention and change.
The idea for Voice of Change was conceived during the production of The Fort, a movie about a mother and son living with family violence. The subject matter addressed during filming of The Fort impacted the cast and crew greatly, and the closed set provided a safe environment in which to share personal and confronting conversations.
Voice of Change creates arts projects that give a voice to people experiencing – or who have experienced – family violence. Art therapy – a form of expressive therapy that uses the creative process of making art to improve a person’s physical, mental, and emotional well-being – provides the framework for Voice-of-Change’s arts-based approach.
Voice of Change believes everyone has a role to play in preventing family violence, and that education and conversation are key.

What does a mother do when she doesn’t want her son to become his father?
Where do you go, who do you turn to, when home is where the harm is?
Living with family violence, young mother Kitty and her son Tom create a fort that transports them to imaginary lands that provide an escape from the hostilities they face at home. But, when reality overtakes make-believe they discover the fantasy world that provides them with sanctuary can’t protect them forever.
