About this Event

This International 16 Days of Action Against Domestic Violence, we invite our community to come together at the PACC for an important keynote address by Jas Rawlinson.

Join us for an unforgettable morning that promises not just to inform, but to inspire.

Let’s unite as a community in this vital conversation and take the steps necessary to ensure that no one stands alone against the shadows of violence and coercion. Together, we can unite against the pressing issues of violence and coercion. Your voice matters in this essential conversation, and together, we can drive change.

Jas Rawlinson, a celebrated keynote speaker, best-selling author, and advocacy coach, is renowned for her commitment to empowering individuals and communities. Through her insightful storytelling, she helps teens and adults recognize the signs of domestic violence and transforms moments of shame into powerful stories of resilience.

As a survivor of domestic and sexual violence, Jas draws from her personal experiences and combines them with her background in creative writing and psychology. Her compelling approach has made a profound impact on countless lives globally, shining a light on social issues that often remain in the shadows.

Her acclaimed works include the best-selling memoir "The Stories We Carry" and the impactful suicide prevention series "Reasons to Live," both endorsed by prominent organizations such as Lifeline, ABC, and the Women’s Legal Service QLD.
