Being there for someone isn't about giving your opinions or fixing things for them. It's about listening and creating a safe space for them to share their struggles.

Stalking and monitoring happens when someone repeatedly harasses you with unwanted contact or monitors your behaviour and where you are. The behaviour can be constant and can make you feel like you cannot escape.

If you are being stalked by someone, it’s important to seek support. You can learn more here: https://www.1800respect.org.au/violence-and-abuse/stalking

(Image text: Stalking and monitoring can involve a range of behaviour that doesn't stop when you ask. It can include repeated emails or social media messages.)

It's easy to get caught up in the expectations of others over the holiday period. But everyone's reality is different.

Someone you know might be experiencing family difficulties, feeling lonely, facing financial pressure, or missing celebrations because they’re working.

Encourage your loved ones to do what works for them.

Send this to someone to remind them to look after numero uno 💛

Death is nothing at all.
It does not count.
I have only slipped away into the next room.
Nothing has happened.

Everything remains exactly as it was.
I am I, and you are you,
and the old life that we lived so fondly together is untouched, unchanged.
Whatever we were to each other, that we are still.

Call me by the old familiar name.
Speak of me in the easy way which you always used.
Put no difference into your tone.
Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow.

Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes that we enjoyed together.
Play, smile, think of me, pray for me.
Let my name be ever the household word that it always was.
Let it be spoken without an effort, without the ghost of a shadow upon it.

Life means all that it ever meant.
It is the same as it ever was.
There is absolute and unbroken continuity.
What is this death but a negligible accident?

Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
I am but waiting for you, for an interval,
somewhere very near,
just round the corner.

All is well.
Nothing is hurt; nothing is lost.
One brief moment and all will be as it was before.
How we shall laugh at the trouble of parting when we meet again!

You can be there for your friends by talking to them about their relationships.
You know how your friends will best respond to being challenged on their behaviours. If you see them being disrespectful to a partner or any other woman, pull them up or pull them aside.

Healthy relationships are built on trust, respect, and communication. NRWC promotes resources and education to foster healthy relationships in rural communities. Let’s support love that uplifts, not controls.

Join the 16 Days of Activism and help build communities where women are safe and equal. It all starts with respect.
