Hundreds of supporters joined the Moreton Bay Says No to Violence Walk along Redcliffe waterfront on Friday.

Police chiefs and officers, State and Moreton Bay politicians led the march from Rotary Park, along Redcliffe Pde to Settlement Cove.

They were joined by a highland band, police horse patrol and pupils from peninsula schools as well as members of community organisations.

Speakers at the amphitheatre included Lou Felton Smith from Miracle Mums Movement Inc, Dave Kramer from the Small Steps for Hannah HALT Program and Danni Vee, a survivor and mindset/leadership coach.

Now in its 17th year, Moreton Bay Says No To Violence (MBSN2V) walk is a community awareness event that brings people together to stand up, speak out, and walk together against family and domestic violence.

“It is a way to bring the community together and say no to violence, in all its forms, so we create a safer Moreton Bay community,” Encircle CEO Barb Power OAM says.

“Here at Encircle we strive every single day to make Moreton Bay a community where safety is taken for granted, and where no one has to worry about being safe.

“We invite everyone to play your part in contributing to a violence-free neighbourhood; be it in schools, homes, workplaces, or on our streets. If not now, when?”

The event was originally a White Ribbon event and was celebrated as part of the 16 Days of Activism for many years.

In 2024, it moved to the last Friday in May as part of Domestic and Family Violence (DFV) Prevention Month.
