Be wise to domestic and family violence

Building communities where everyone can flourish begins with wisdom — the willingness to learn, listen, and understand.

To be wise is to seek truth: to be informed about the nature and prevalence of domestic and family violence, to understand its deep drivers, and to recognise the patterns of coercive control that enable it to continue.

Scripture reminds us:

“An intelligent mind acquires knowledge, and the ear of the wise seeks knowledge.”
— Proverbs 18:15 (NRSV)

Wisdom leads to awareness, and awareness leads to change. As followers of Christ, we are called to be wise, alert, and courageous — people who notice, care, and act safely to prevent harm.

Domestic Violence impacts people of faith too. Explore the findings of the National Anglican Family Violence Project.
