Most people will never speak to a journalist in their lives. When a woman or child is killed, the media becomes a crucial – and often unwanted – aspect of a person’s trauma journey.

Sherele provides support, training and mentoring to ensure families are able to understand how the media works and how to control the narrative of their loved one’s story.

When a woman or child is killed, the media becomes a crucial – and often unwanted – aspect of a person’s trauma journey.

Journalists who understands the unique needs of families impacted by violence will produce stories that do not add to the stress and trauma these people are already enduring.

Training can be provided on-site at the media outlet’s cost or can be provided pro bono online.

Australian Femicide Watch and The RED HEART Campaign often campaign on behalf of families seeking justice for their loved ones.

We understand how the police, courts and support services often fail women and children before they are killed and after their deaths.

Founder Sherele Moody has run a number of successful campaigns over the years. She wants to use her skills and experience to make sure families are able to run their own campaigns and gain the change they need. She will also run campaigns on a family’s behalf if this is requested.

Support is available across all areas of campaigning, including crafting petitions, lobbying policy-makers and MPs, accessing the media, and harnessing the power of Instagram, Facebook, and other social media platforms.
