DV Vic and DVRCV united to form Safe and Equal in 2021, combining over thirty years of experience in advocacy and innovation for change in the family violence sector. Connecting strength, capacity and resources for greater impact, Safe and Equal is the peak body for Victoria’s specialist family violence services supporting victim survivors. Although our name and look has changed, our determination is unwavering. Underpinned by intersectional feminism with resolute guiding principles, we are a force to be reckoned with. Together we're increasing our impact in preventing and responding to family and gender-based violence. There are specialist family violence services available across Victoria to help people experiencing family violence and their family and friends. Please visit areyousafeathome.org.au for more support providers. We recognise, welcome and respect people of all genders, sexes and sexualities. Safe and Equal is committed to improving access and inclusion for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex and queer people. Safe and Equal acknowledges Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the traditional and ongoing custodians of the lands on which we live and work. We pay respects to Elders past and present. We acknowledge that sovereignty has never been ceded and recognise First Nations peoples’ rights to self-determination and continuing connections to land, waters and community.
